Folder Redirection Policy in Workgroup setting?

[Jd]

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

Got some w2k boxes in a peer to peer workgroup environment.
Would like to apply a policy so that each "my documents" and "application
data" goes to a \\share\%users% on the computer designated to do backups.
Ya I could right click on the my documents folder and change the setting but
prefer to learn and use group policy.
Thanks in advance.

You will need a Windows 2000 AD domain and the machines to be members of the
domain in order to use Group Policy. This will not work in a workgroup.

You can setup local group polices, do this by typing gpedit.msc into the run
command

Hi,

Yes, but you will notice that Folder Redirection isn’t there for
standalone workstations.

Cheers,
