Hi all

I have a user that "redirected his desktop" some time ago on his pc , so today 
when we put a new NAS in his desktop won't load.

He had his desktop folder located in his home share on the old server

\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop 

because home shares didnt take up much space on the server we left the home 
shares but we renamed the server (server01 to server02), and gave the new NAS 
the old server name (server01) due to many apps/links/coding that is used using 
the original server name.

So now when he logs on, his desktop hangs and errors out  "could not locate 
\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop " which makes sense because the  path 

"\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop"  doesn't exist anymore and the real 
location is now

"\\server02\users\user_name\home\desktop"

I went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell 
Folders 

changed the desktop folder to value to the new servername  , but it still gives 
that error.

I ran gpresult just to make sure it wasnt coming from domain GPO's and  also 
opened up gpedit locally
and there are no settings configured.

I'm pretty stumped on this one
