You can use Group Policy to redirect the My Documents folder to a different network path on the domain for all users without having to set up an individual policy for each user.
NOTE: This procedure works only if the users have Windows 2000 Professional-based workstations.
| 1. | On a domain controller, click Start, click Run, type dsa.msc, and then click OK to start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. |
| 2. | In the right pane, click the root of the domain. |
| 3. | Right-click the domain, and then click Properties. |
| 4. | Click the Group Policy tab, click New, and type a recognizable name for the new Group Policy Object (GPO), such as Domain My Docs Redirection. Press ENTER. |
| 5. | Click Edit to edit the Domain My Docs Redirection GPO. |
| 6. | Expand User Configuration. |
| 7. | Expand Windows Settings. |
| 8. | Expand Folder Redirection. |
| 9. | Right-click My Documents, and then click Properties. |
| 10. | Click Basic. |
| 11. | In the Target Folder Location box, type the path as:
\\servername\sharename\username
This redirects the users' My Documents folder to a folder on the network that is created automatically based on the user name.
