Ok I have seen a ton of help with folder redirection, however none have been with applications data. So my problem is that I am using a standard Domain w/ AD. I currently use manditory profiles for all my users. Have about 1500. They are all pointed to a profile path on a logon server. I want to redirect the "Application Data" to the login server share. How is this done. I get a ton of registry errors when try to preform this through the registry and when I use the GPO it does nothing. I must be forgetting something. Can any tell me how they did this. Thanks alot

It is done using GPO's, although you may just have to update the client using gpupdate to allow the changes to propogate. Also make sure the path is a UNC path, so that the clients can access the location (chech permissions as well - share permissions and NTFS permissions).
