OT Group Policies on W2k Domain Controller Help

["Dr John Tankard" <john@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the OT post, this is doing my head in

I am wanting to re-direct my docs on workstations to a network drive so
that my wife & I can get to our documents regardless of which system we
login to, I might also use profiles and I would prefer to use
re-direction so that the my docs is not copied every time we
login/logout, on my laptop I also want to set my docs to be a offline
folder. We have four computers in this setup, w2k server, Xp Pro
workstation, Xp Pro Laptop, Multiboot workstation usualy w2k pro.

I have followed what I remember is the correct procedure but it just
does not work, I have done this:-

Created a network share called userdata.( just created and done noting
else with it, I have not made the subfolders and I hve not touched the
rights in any way)

On the server I have opened up active directory users and computers, rt
click on the domain, select properties, clicked on group policy, clicked
on edit to edit the default policy, under user config I expanded windows
settings, then expanded folder redirection, rt click on my documents
select properties and pu this into target
//silver/userdata/%username%/My Documents
I have selected redirect everyone's folder

Applied and exited

Created a new user, logged in and saved a file in my documents, logged
out and looked on the server to see if the directory was created and it
was not !

Any help please

John
