A. By default, Windows 2000 doesn't apply Group Policy folder redirection settings to users on slow network connections. To modify this behavior, perform the following steps:

  1. Start Group Policy Editor (GPE), and load the policy in question (you can also right-click the Active Directory--AD--container that the policy applies to, select Properties, select the Group Policy tab, and click Edit).

  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Group Policy.

  3. Double-click "Folder Redirection policy processing."

  4. Select Enabled.

  5. Select the "Allow processing across a slow network connection" check box. (You can also double-click "Group Policy slow link detection" to set what constitutes a slow link.)

  6. Click OK.

  7. Select Enabled to set the connection speed (500Kbps by default).

  8. Click OK.

  9. Close GPE.
