Vista syncing re-directed folders and group policies

Anyone know anything about setting up Vista's Sync Centre to backup My Documents and desktop?

The DC is a 2008 SBS server.

I know it's done with Group Policies but I did my MCP back in 2000 and then never touched it again and can't remember anything about this!

It works for everyone else in the office. But can't get it to work for one guy.


Any help greatfully received!


Thanks!

James

I'd recreate his v2 profile. Unless him or his PC's in another GPO you'd assume if it's right for the rest of the PC's/Office....it'd be right for him!

Make sure that you copy his docs, favs, pictures, videos, pst's etc...if redirection is really screwed and nothing has redirected properly!

Hmmm, well I got it sorted. I think.

It worked after I created the folder manually on the DC and set the permissions myself. I wasn't doing this before as my boss said that it happened automatically when the user logs in and the sync is activated.

Can you confirm if it happens automatically and the failuire of this is the root of the problem, or whether the cause is my boss being silly and you do need to create the folder yourself?

Cheers,
James
