SBS 2003 and Windows 7 Folder Redirection

Hi

I have a simple Windows 2003 server, and we have 4 XP Pro clients...

I have setup folder redirection for Desktop and My Documents to my users
home directory.., and this works fine..., no problems...

We have just brought a Windows 7 machine, and I have added it to the Domain
and usual, rebooted and logged in, but the folder redirection doesn't seem
to be working...?

Is there something else I have to do here to get this to work...?

Any help is mush appreciated....

Col

Vista and Windows 7 use a different group policy for folder redirection that
is not backwards compatible with XP. You'll need to create and edit the GPO
using a windows 2008 box or a Vista/Win7 box with the RSAT tools installed.

Hi Cliff, thanks for that...

It's not an easy one to work out what exactly you should download... :-(
