Environment : Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 Sp1 (x64)
Issue: User home folders are saved in a shared (DFS) area in subfolders.
One of the test users year8s1 homefolder is at : \\domainname\sharename\2012\year8s1
For another user it may be \\domainname\sharename\2013\year9s1
I am getting the below redirection error when they login and the home folders are not being redirected.

Description:
Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "%HOMESHARE%\Users\year8s1".
Redirection options=0x9230.
The following error occurred: "".
Error details: "The specified path is invalid."
------------------ ---------------------------
The problem is ""%HOMESHARE%\Users\year8s1" " is wrong.
------ ---------------------- -----------------
In Group policy the redirection is set to
Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)
-------------- ----------------------- ----------
This works for some computers but not on others (as in, if a user logs into a desktop in a particular OU, it works and when the same user logs into another one, it doesn't work). The users have a drive mapping to the same, and it also fails to map when this happens. The redirection error code is not very helpful as its not very commonly seen while googling.
Could anyone advise where I should be looking at first?
Many thanks,
