Folder Redirection problem in Group Policy

[sprintst955]

I set up Folder Redirection in Group Policy, but applied it to the entire domain. I now need to only apply it to certain organizational units. I deleted the group policy applied to the domain and now when I create a new policy, the option for folder rediretion is not there anymore. Does anyone know how to get it back?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Should be there, are you perhaps looking under Computer Configuration instead of User Configuration?

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Another possible problem here is that when you remove the GPO for redirection, you have to make sure that you had the settings checked which tells the system what to do when the GPO is removed(ie leave the files where they are or move them back to the local machines).

Also, each person will have to logoff and back on twice before the move back to local machine is applied.

I've messed up a few GPO's, and have learnt to ALWAYS test a few mchines in a test OU before applying it domain wide .

markdmac,

I am looking in User Configuration\Windows Settings and it's not there. The only thing there is Remote Installation Services.

If you make a new GPO does it show up?

What does it say in the delegation tab of the new policy you've created? Who are you logged in as?
