Group Policy Not Working for just one user...

[Guest BadBoy House]

We have a group policy configured on our network that includes a

folder redirection policy. Basically it redirects everyone's My

Documents folder to a central folder under their name on our server.

This makes sure everything gets backed up.

 

We've had this folder redirection in place for the past 7 years and

it's worked fine.

 

We discovered today however that one of our users My Documents folders

has never been redirected. We only found this out after we formatted

this particular user's computer and they ended up with no documents.

Their my documents folder on the server was basically empty.

 

 

Whilst we can't retrieve the data and this is no major problem I'm

concerned as to why the folder redirection for this particular user

has failed. The user account has been in use for I'd say the last 5

years and many users have been created since and everyone elses

account redirects fine.

 

Locally the user is a member of the Power Users group, as is everyone

else.

 

 

All the other group policy settings are working fine - standard

desktop icons, standard start menu, standard wallpaper etc.

 

 

Can anyone suggest some reasons for the issue with the my documents

redirection?

 

 

Thanks in advance.
