I'm not sure to understand your problem, but since you use CIFS.HOMEDIR mechanism, why don't you set an home directory for each user in the Active Directory, and then use Group policy feature to redirect my Documents to the home dir ???

Subject: RE: Windows folder redirection and cifs.homedir
Not to belabor the point but here's what is confusing me, the eventlog on
the client computer reports the following:
-------------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Folder Redirection
Event Category: None
Event ID: 106
Date: 8/26/2003
Time: 11:32:25 AM
User: CCIS-WINDOWS\colinj
Computer: GALLIUM
Description:
Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The full
source path was <C:\Documents and Settings\colinj\My Documents>.
The full destination path was <\\ccis-windows\net\myhome>.
At least one of the shares on which these paths lie is currently offline.
------------------------------------
Now it looks to me like the redirection is happening as the user. So the
question is now, why is the share from the network appliance not showing up?

Hi Eric,
A particular CIFS homedirs is only visible if you're logged on as the user
whose login is matching the foldername. I've got a similar issue when
configuring the home directory in the user manager in our NT 4.0 domain. As
I'm not logged on as the user, I can't see his homedir. However, have a look
at this, maybe it might help you:
