Folder redirection in Server 2k3 Standard

[cdaleridr]

Trying to get my My Docs folder redirected to a folder on the Server 2k3 box that hosts our AD for the purposes of making sure that it works (we can't afford a test environment, please leave it at that). I set the group policy up as per MS's directions and created a root directory on the server, being careful to make sure that the permissions for the folder are liberal enough to allow for a new folder to be created. Unfortunately, I'm not getting a new folder after I force gpupdate and log off and then back on. I think it has to be permissions, but I have the root set up to let the group my account is in do whatever it wants. What might I be overlooking?

How about the path name for the home directory in the user's account?

Set to the root path used for redirection.

Funny you mention that, I just got our DNS straightened out last month. If not for the fact that the only DNS related entries in the logs are that it starts when the server reboots, I'd believe you. But what was your issue when you dealt with it?

I'm sure it's something simple, though. I'm just not seeing it.

Simple indeed. Had a group in an OU that the GPO was tied to, but didn't have the user that's in the group in the OU. Moved user account into the OU and it works like a charm. It's the obvious stuff that bites me in the butt sometimes.
