I have built a Vista (Business edition) machine as a member of a windows
2003/2003 domain.
This machine is located in an OU which does not have redirect documents set.
On the Vista machine as expected Documents, Pictures and Music pointed to
the local hard drive in subfolders under the location c:\users\administrator
I then changed the paths to Documents, Pictures and Music as follows:
Pictures to d:\data\pictures
Music to d:\data\music
Documents to \\servername\documents\lees work
The serer is structured as follows
d: -
Documents(Shared as Documents)
-User1 Documents
-User2 Documents
-User3 Documents
etc.....
Profiles
- User1 Profile
etc.....
At this point I noticed that "Documents" on the start menu had changed to
the name of the new location for documents on the network called “Lees Work"
I then renamed "Lees Work" on the start menu to "Documents" and I am in now
the following situation.
Looking on the server Vista seems to have taken over!!!!
Rather than taking action only over the "Lees work" sub folder for some
reason Vista has managed to pick up the fact that there is a higher level
folder called "Documents" on the server. Vista has preceded to convert the
top level folder on the server called "Document" to a Windows Vista folder
and then replicated this throughout the tree. e.g. it has enabled sync on
all of folder in the tree to sync to my PC!!!!!!!
What is hell is going on here?
I am not in the mood for performing a restore on a data tree which contains
300+ network users data because I pointed my vista PCs "Documents" to my
networks "My Work" folder located in a server top level folder called
"Documents".
