Q:

Redirecting documents folder for windows 7

I have a GPO set to redirect the Documents folder to the H: drive of our students.  It works, but conditionally.  If the student already has My Pictures, My Videos, and/or My Music folders already in existence within their H: drive, then Documents will not redirect as it automatically creates those folders within.  If I delete those three folders from the student's drive, then the folder redirection will then activate.  Obviously it is not practical to go into each student's folder and delete these out of there.  Is there a workaround or something I am missing?
The policy is set for Basic-Redirect everyone's folder to the same location
pointing to the target location of the user's home drive.
Under the settings of the GPO, all 3 boxes are checked and Policy Removal has "Leave the folder in the new location when policy is removed" selected.

A:

Turns out the answer to fix this was to uncheck the policy option to grant exclusive rights of the Documents folder to the user.  As soon as I unchecked that, everything went just fine.
