I've been banging my head on this for a while at work.
These are XP pro workstations on an NT domain. I want to redirect everyone's My Document folder to their home directory on the server. I know you can do this in a 2k/2003 domain with group policies, but I don't know how to do it on an NT domain since My Documents does not exist in NT.
I've tried having the logon script reference a .reg file that changes the value of HKEY_CURRENT_USERS/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/user shell folders/personal to L:\Documents (where L: has been mapped earlier in the script to the user's home directory). This doesn't seem to do it.
I can change it manually on the box as the user, but this isn't practical.
I've tried changing it as the administrator and loading the hive into default user, but even when I create a new user, it still goes back to the default location on C:\.
If this can ONLY be done on a 2000 domain then I can start doing other things. I just want to know that it's not possible so I can stop.
