Desktop re-direction problem through GP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hello, wonder if anyone could help me with the following.
I am using Win2k server with 2k & XP w/stations. In my domain I have 2 OUs:
Staff & Pupil, the policy for each points to a different desktop. This all
works great, however this is my problem:

User1 is in Staff OU and gets staff desktop
If I move User1 to Pupil OU, I still get Staff desktop

I am re-directing the user profiles to \\server\profiles\%username%. If I
delete User1 profile folder and let it recreate when they login I then get
the correct desktop. Is there another way around this, apart from deleting
their profile folder, each time they move OU?

Paul, Use Folder Redirection for Desktop instead.

Have a look at User Data and Settings Management paper.
