My Documents not redirecting

[Parkham]

#143142

I did a cursory search on the forum and a fairly extensive search on Google, to seemingly no avail.

Environment:
Windows 2003 Active Directory Native
DC’s are W2K3 SP2
Server hosting home drives is W2K3 SP2
Client computers are Windows XP SP3

Description:
Having issues with server that hosts home drives. Changed home drive location for all users in profile section and redirected them via GPO.

After several days, I got messages from users complaining they couldn’t get into their My documents folder. H: drive (home drive) is fine. I noticed that the registry keys that set my documents are still pointing to the old home drive.

I temporarily allowed (via GPO) users to change their My Docs path so I could fix the issue while they were logged in.

ALSO… after the issue was corrected manually, users can’t browse my documents when they are saving documents in Office 2007.

Properties:
Root folder: D:Home
Administrators (Full Control)
Creator Owner (Special) Subfolder and folders only (Full Control)
System (Full Control)

Individual Home folders:
Same as root
Each individual user (Full Control)

Let me know if I need to provide more information and thanks!!!
