Folder Redirection GPO not being applied

I found an article saying take out %USERNAME%. That gets generated when I typed in "Users" which is a shared folder. We don't use roaming profiles/home folders. Offline files are enabled. I can't think of anything else useful off the top of my head.
In that pic, the Scope is for Users (Forest > Domain > City > Users). That user is in that OU. The security filtering is Authenticated Users.
gpresult /z shows the policy being applied, but Folder Redirection shows as N/A. No definitions for the folder redirection in there.
I looked in SYSVOL. Found it odd that User Policies aren't defined graphically but things like printer connections showed up as a readable HTML file.

@scottalanmiller I was thinking more along the lines of the Flying Dutchman, but that works too I guess.

And what process are you using to generate the path in the first place?
I've always used the Home Folder option in the user properties > Profile tab to create this folder. I'm not sure what what happen if you leave that out, or don't change it to match the new user's name (you mentioned that you changed their name (assuming the account name as well) recently.

I thought that at first, but the Last Train is sometimes the better way to go.

Does this new user have an under water locker?
I'm slowly going insane, so I try to make up funny passwords and usernames where it's possible.
Someone who doesn't like jokes got "Turd Ferguson" as their name on their VoIP phone screen. Everyone else thought it was funny.

Leaving that out, you have to put in the setting below... "Create a folder for each user under the root path". Nothing was changed to make anything stop working which is the weird part. There is another option instead, to "Redirect", but if you don't set it to Create, it won't auto-create from my experience.

It hit me pretty much all at once in February 1999.
All at once? Eesh, I'm sorry. What happened? Just a spring that needed to decompress all at once?

That's when I joined NTG.
