I am sorry if this is a repost, but I inadvertently deleted
any responses: I am having a weird problem with folder redirection. I have
set the My Documents redirection to the subfolder of the root drive option and
set the path to the homefolders directory (\\servername\homefolders$). This is
supposed to redirect users my documents to
\\servername\homefolders$\%username%\my documents and it does. The users log
onto their PCs and open their My Documents folder fine – and looking at
the properties of their my documents folder confirms that the redirection is
working properly. The problem is that in certain applications, namely Outlook
2003 (all latest patches and SPs applied). When a user goes to save an
attachment, for example, and clicks on my documents in the save dialog, they
receive the error “cannot access \\servername\homefolders$, which makes
sense since the users do not have access to the homefolders$ share, just to
their subfolder. So Outlook, for some reason, is not drilling down into the users
my documents in the home folder, but instead is trying to access the root of
the homefolders$ share. In other Office apps, the my documents works fine.
There are also no event log entries that reference this issue. I am stuck here as I am unable to find any KB articles that
discuss this. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have not yet reinstalled
Outlook because all other Office apps work fine. Office was deployed to the
workstations via group policy using an AIP and MST transform. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dan DeStefano If you have received this message in error please notify the sender, disregard any content and remove it from your possession. |
