Policy mode instellingen worden elke keer opnieuw toegepast. Preference mode instellingen worden éénmalig toegepast en pas opnieuw toegepast als de GPO erachter aangepast word.

Voor het redirecten van bijvoorbeeld My Documents naar een locatie \\servernaam\Home\username moet je de folder redirection met de volgende instelling aanmaken:
Redirect to the following location:

\\servernaam\Home\%username%

Als je vervolgens op OK klikt en de properties weer opent, dan zie je:
“Create a folder for each user under the root path”
Root path:

\\servernaam\Home

Voor de gebruiker Clair word dit dan

\\servernaam\Home\Claire 

Als je direct “Create a folder for each user under the root path” had gekozen en

 \\servernaam\Home 

had opgegeven dan krijg je voor Claire:

\\servernaam\Home\Claire\My Documents.

Mocht je bij het aanpassen/aanmaken van basic folder redirection voor My Documents naar een al bestaande homedir tegen de melding “This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.” aanlopen, zorg dan dat je op het tweede tabblad van de My Documents folder properties in GPO de optie “Grant the user exclusive rights to the folder name” uitvinkt.
