Folder Redirection
Lisa
the following errors appear in the event viewer under application:
- Folder Redirection: Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents.
The new directories for the redirected folder could not be created. The
folder is configured to be redirected to \\%HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%, the final
expanded path was \\%HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%. The following error occurred: The
specified path is invalid.
- The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection was passed flags
(0) and returned a failure status code of (161).
- Windows cannot process extension Folder Redirection ProcessGroupPolicy.
Return value (0xa1).
When the \\homeshare path is typed into the run command, the my documents
folder is then redirected to the correct folder.
These errors do not occur when we have the same group policy for Windows XP
PC's and the My Documents folder redirects to the specified folder correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas why these errors are occuring or why the My
Documents path is not being redirected on Windows 2000 machines?

What is more, I would like to give you some general information to the
issue, hope it helps. Regarding to the error message, the issue should be
caused by security settings.
When a user does not have sufficient Share and NTFS ACL permissions, their
folder is not redirected and you can view this type error. For more detail
information, you can refer to the following KB article:
