I have created a 'Home Folder' for a new user account on SBS 2003 R2.
Im new to this, but i have managed to set a few things up, logged in etc.
How do i set the clients my documents to be the new users home folder?

Active Directory Users and Computers\Users OU\User Config\Folder Redirection\Right Click My Documents\
Setting - Basic, Redirect everyone to the same location
Target location - Redirect to users home folder
I presume you are on Server 2003

can do it either, depends how many machines you want to do, if its just the one edit the LGPO on the machine, if its a load edit the GPO thats applied to the OU

eeek... lamen terms please!
its just the one, but it will eventualy be 30+.
LGPO = local group policy?
OU = ?
Where can LPGO be found?

if its going to be 30+ best bet is create a new org unit to place the objects in, then make sure the policy applied to that org unit includes the folder redirection. If you go into active direcotry users and computers - just right click on any org unit contrainer, goto properties, then into group policy, then click to edit a policy - in here if you goto user config - windows settings - folder redirection as above, you should see the option.
