I'm trying to use GP to set the default folders in Windows 7 Libraries. Now all our users have two drives -an S: drive for personal stuff and a P: drive for their departmental stuff. Depending on which dept they are in they'll have P:\admin or P:\IT etc as their departmental drive. So I want these drives to appear automatically in the library folder instead of the default C: drive mappings.
I read up on folder redirection and I set a redirection to P:\IT for the IT group and logged on. There is no change to the library. The folder with my name on (Users's file?- I think this is what this called) , now has an extra My Documents within it that points to P:\IT but it also has the original My Documents as well which points to C:\users\me. Not very useful to have two identical icons -which one will Word etc default to when documents are saved?
What I'd like to achieve is to remove the User's file folder altogether as its full of junk we never use ,(Saved games, my videos etc -we are a business!), and keep the library, but get rid of the two c drive items and have GP insert the S and P drive for each group of users. Is this possible? At the moment I'm having to tailor the library manually and on some machines there are 20 users and it takes ages.
I've got server 2008r2 and win 7 clients.
