Jim, << I redirect My Docs to create the folder…then map that via GPP Drive mappings. But the Drive mapping is really legacy for the long timers that still prefer to work off a mapped drive rather than My Docs from time to time. >>
Can you expand on this? Right now we have the U: drive mapped to \\server\users$\%username%. Then we do redirect My Documents and maybe one of the My Folders to the U:\ If you don't mind explain further how you are doing what you described please. Are you doing redirect via GPP or manually doing it. And where are you creating this redirected folder? Is it under something like \\server\users\%username%. Any details you have or could point me to would be appreciated.
