Documents Folder Redirected Rename Question

Posted: 06-26-2006, 05:00 AM
Environment:

- Win2003 SBS, SP1 domain, native mode
- Users' Documents folders manually redirected to the server on each
client (read: not using a GPO, because I don't do this on all the
clients...just the two I normally use) in the following manner:

\\server\users\user_1
\\server\users\user_2

- Until I installed WinVista Beta 2, each client was WinXP, SP2
- WinVista Beta 2 client is installed under VMWare and joined to the
domain

What Happened:

When I redirected the documents folder properties on the Vista client
for user_1 to \\server\users\user_1, the user_1 folder on the server
was apparently renamed \\server\users\documents, all of user_1's
documents appeared under that documents folder, and the user_1's folder
was empty. The reason I say "apparently" is because the process was
near-instantaneous, so with 3gb of data files, I don't think the files
were moved during the process. It seems to me there shouldn't be any
"arbitrary" renaming of folders as part of folder redirection.

I have only attempted this process once, but before I spend much time on
it was wondering if anyone else encountered this? I am uncertain if
this can be quantified as a bug or normal operation.
