Teaching Users about Folder Redirection

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

If users are accustomed to seeing their documents in the My Documents folder, when you deploy Folder Redirection, most applications (such as Microsoft Word) appear and use the files in the same manner as they did before you redirected the folders.

Folder Redirection and remote access to another domain

When users connect to the network by using remote access and their computer accounts are not a part of the domain to which they are connecting, they need to know the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the shared folder that contains their files. For example: \\Servername\Redirected Folders\%username%\My Documents.

The logon process might access one or more files from a redirected My Documents folder during a dial-up session.
