Folder Redirection

[Caster Troy]

Hi All,
I have redirected contents of users to a shared storage and hence saving up the local disk space. I have redirected Application Data, My Documents and Desktop. Users with PSTs configured in Microsoft Outlook are unable to view their mails, any suggestions plz

How have you redirected them?

Some light on it might give some options.

You need to point the Personal folders to the new location. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/movepst.htm

Basically, you need to go into Control Panel, Mail, data files, and either edit the path in the current data file (PST file), or delete and re-add the data file path.

I have redirected these folders using Group Policy in my Active Directory on the OU in which users exist. I am using windows server 2003.

I agree totally with Jon Finley.
I have dealt with this in the past.
Best way to do this, is setting redirection locally on the clients.
If this is not possible due to the number of client computers, try mapping a network drive this way:

Group policy
user configuration
windows settings
Scripts (logon/logoff)

run this command:
net use x: \\servername\resourcename\%username%
You'll need a folder under resourcename for each user in the domain. Otherwise, you won't be able to set permissions on files/folders or it will be a huge mess.

After this try redirecting the folders to x:

However, to help you diagnose the problem,
try redirecting the folder locally on the client computers to see what's going wrong.

hope it helps.
regards.
