Guest Judy Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 How do you program a computer/workstation to automatically save information to a server instead of their individual hard drive?
Guest Mike Lloyd-Jones Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Re: Saving documents to a server We typically move My Documents for each user so that it points to a mapped drive and folder on the server Any MS apps which have My Docs as the save location then save to the server by default "Judy" <Judy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AEEA9318-3BA7-4D5E-AEDA-E6C6A7BCED20@microsoft.com... > How do you program a computer/workstation to automatically save > information > to a server instead of their individual hard drive?

If you use AD, you set up GPOs for folder redirection (for My Documents at the very least - perhaps also Application Data and Desktop). I like to redirect all three to the same place - "create a folder under the parent folder" so it becomes \\server\users\<username>\My Documents \\server\users\<username>\Desktop \\server\users\<username>\Application Data I set the policy to prevent users from changing the My Documents path. I also use roaming profiles, but the folder redirection keeps them very small and manageable. If you don't use AD, you'll have to point My Documents manually at a UNC path or mapped drive on the server....this isn't optimal.
