Ok, here is the problem, the default location for the "my documents" folder
for my users.

In my GPO
User Config
Windows Settings
Folder Redirection
My Documents

It was stated like this:
Basic - redirect everyone's folder to the same location
Target folder location:
Create a folder location for each user under the root path
Root Path:
\\server\home
For user Clair, this folder will be redirected to:
\\server\home\clair

After I changed the server name to another server, it now reads like this.
Basic - redirect everyone's folder to the same location
Target folder location:
Create a folder location for each user under the root path
Root Path:
\\server\home
For user Clair, this folder will be redirected to:
\\server\home\clair\my documents

For the life of me I cannot get rid of the My Documents tag it leaves
behind. So when users login they are actually getting logged in to their my
documents like this
user: clair\my documents\my documents

Can anyone please help me just have the folder be directed to
\\server\home\clair the way it use to be before???????

Hey, there:

I've seen this happen when you upgrade from 2000 to 2003, and I solved
it by going into My Documents Folder Redirection under User
Configuration, and setting it to "Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to
the same location" and setting the target options to "Redirect to the
following location" and entering in "\\ServerName\ShareName\%username%".

By using the envrionment variable, it inputs the username in, but
because it thinks that everyone is being redirected to the same
location, it won't append "My Documents".
