Comments on: Folder Redirection for Unusual Paths [Group Policy] http://nunnone.com/folder-redirection-for-unusual-paths-group-policy/ Sometimes in the night, when it does get a bit lonely, I reach over and touch it. Then it doesn't seem so lonely any more.

I can not get folders redirection to work in ZCM10.3 via GP in Win 7 ( importing from AD domain GP ), if you have indeed succeeded could you please elaborate a bit more on that ? Keln, did you get My docs redirected in XP or Windows 7 ( Documents ) ? I can not get folders redirection to work in ZCM10.3 via GP in Win 7 ( importing from AD domain GP ), if you have indeed succeeded could you please elaborate a bit more on that ?

I have Documents in the root, and all the others off it. I may actually re-do it your way eventually though, so thanks for the heads up! ‘Fraid I haven’t tried doing it that way.

This was helpful. I’m trying to migrate a legacy folder redirection GPO based on 2003/XP to 2008/Win7.

%HOMESHARE%Documents
%HOMESHARE%Desktop
%HOMESHARE%Favorites
%HOMESHARE%Links

all work well, redirecting the test folders to the test user’s W drive root.

However:

%HOMESHARE%Pictures exhibits the same behavior as the other setting of “Follow the Documents” directory. It’s as if the ghost of XP is still alive and requires My Pictures to be a sub of My Documents. It’s not super critical, but I’m curious if you’ve had any luck putting Pictures at the same level as documents in a redirected policy?

Thanks for the excellent writeup.

I ended up doing the my docs redirection via GP and the Desktop and favorites via the registry change via GP preferences.<br><br>Regarding the variable discussion, ZCM 10 lets you specify variables for use in software deployment at the "OU" level. It is very handy for couple applications. For instance, I put all of the computers for one classroom in the same OU. Then I am able to specify variables for that classroom. I specify a variable for th teacher computer name, then when I deploy my SynchronEyes app, I am able to use variable to point the student computers to the teachers computer all with the same app. Thanks for the info.
