Hi there-

I want to give administrators access to all the users my documents folders.
I have my documents redirected via GP to the usersw directory.

How do I do this?

Thanks

See the first link below on how to do this though it probably will not work
after the fact for users that already have redirected folders and manual
configuration may have to be done but be sure to read about the possible
consequence of administrators taking ownership. There are command line tools
that can grant administrators access without becoming owner first such as
fileacl and maybe xcacls.vbs. You can also use Explorer in Windows 2003 to
give ownership to a user. --- Steve

To configure the Folder Redirection feature
1. Open the Group Policy object where Folder Redirection policy is
set.
2. Under User Configuration, double-click Windows Settings.
3. Double-click Folder Redirection.
4. Click the folder you want to configure (for example, My Documents).
Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.
5. Select the Settings property page, click to clear the Grant the
user exclusive rights to My Documents check box, and then click OK.
6. Close all windows.
