for some reason this stopped working last night, for just one user. I made
sure the user was in the Security group that I had created for this. But
her computer has still reverted back to My Documents being stored locally.
How can find out what policies are or aren't being applied for this user?
I'm looking at the Group Policy wizard, but tha is for computer accounts.

I'm replying to my own post ;-)

I ran that wizard, and found this in the logs:
----------------------
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 <\\BDadmin1\Users\%USERNAME%\My
Documents>, the final expanded path was <\\BDadmin1\Users\ballen\My
Documents>.
The following error occurred:
This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.
----------------------
Doesn't make any sense. What it is configured to and the "final expanded
path" are the same - the username in question is "ballen".

"Configured to" is what is entered in AD. "Final expanded path" is what
the path is expanded to after variables have been expanded.
"%USERNAME%" has been expanded to "ballen".

It looks like the folder on the server has the incorrect ownership.

The NTFS permissions were wrong.
On \\BDadmin1\Users\ballen\ the user had no permissions
On\\BDadmin1\Users\ballen\My Documents she did have permissions

I'll try it later. Right not I set the My docs redirection manually at the
workstation.

Thanks.
