Hi,
I currently have a working policy in place which sets the desktop wallpaper and redirects the users My Documents to their users folder on the server among other things.
I now need to either duplicate the policy (which I can't find anywhere) or create another one to make a few subtle changes.

The user folders are located at \\server\users\'username'

When I try and recreate this in a new policy, the example automatically shows:

\\server\users\clair\my documents

This creates a sub directory of my documents in their users folder.
I know that there is a way to get rid of the 'my documents' folder at the end but it doesn't seem to give me any control over this. My existing policy just has:

\\server\users

This is really annoying, can anyone help ?

Thanks
 
Lukey,

The policy should have the path for users My Documents specified as:
\\servername\sharename\%username%
