you will find something in that MST that is pointing to the wrong location.
Blow out an Outlook profile on one as a test. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano I
am having a weird problem with folder redirection. I have set the My Documents
redirection to the subfolder of the root drive option and set the path to the
homefolders directory (\\servername\homefolders$). This is supposed to redirect
users my documents to \\servername\homefolders$\%username%\my documents and it
does. The users log onto their PCs and open their My Documents folder fine
– and looking at the properties of their my documents folder confirms
that the redirection is working properly. The problem is that in certain
applications, namely Outlook 2003 (all latest patches and SPs applied). When a
user goes to save an attachment, for example, and clicks on my documents in the
save dialog, they receive the error “cannot access
\\servername\homefolders$, which makes sense since the users do not have access
to the homefolders$ share, just to their subfolder. So Outlook, for some
reason, is not drilling down into the users my documents in the home folder,
but instead is trying to access the root of the homefolders$ share. In other
Office apps, the my documents works fine. There are also no event log entries
that reference this issue. I
am stuck here as I am unable to find any KB articles that discuss this. Does
anyone have any suggestions? I have not yet reinstalled Outlook because all
other Office apps work fine. Office was deployed to the workstations via group
policy using an AIP and MST transform. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Dan
