Folder redirection to drive letter

[Dieter Molle]

Hi all,

all my users have k: as their home drive. Now i want to use folder
redirection to redirect "My Documents" to k:\data.
But using k:\data as the My Documents Path in the Folder Redirection
GPO doesn't work. It seems as if i could only use UNC Paths for folder
redirection.

Unfortunately i have lots of users and their home drives are on
several servers, so i can't work with \\server\share\%username%\data.

Is there any way to redirect My Documents to k:\data with folder
redirection?

I know i can write a adm to set the User Shell Folders Reg-Key, but i
want to avoid this if it's not necessary.

Thanks in advance,
Dieter

We have several servers that host user homes and we
redirect my documents based on group membership. That
way we can use UNC names. Not sure if you can use that
in your environment but it works great for us.
