I'm attempting to configure a network share as the default location for
OneNote 2007 notebooks. In the administrative template for group policy,
under Tools | Options... Save, I'm setting the Notebook Root value to
\\servername\OneNote\%Username%. When I look at the setting in OneNote, it
shows exactly the same value - in other words, it did not resolve the
username to a folder with the same name, it left in the variable.
When I go to create a new notebook, if I choose a notebook to be used only
on this PC, it defaults to the non-existing address
\\servername\OneNote\%Username%. If I choose a notebook to be used on
multiple computers, it defaults to C:\Documents and Settings .... - the
default path prior to setting up the GPO. And, if I choose a notebook to be
shared by multiple users, it defaults to \\servername\OneNote\Dave as I'd
expect. Only in the last instance does the username variable resolve to the
actual username.
My goal is not to simplify creation of shared notebooks, but rather to force
users to store notebooks on the server rather than locally (for backup
purposes). Short of manually configuring every user profile, how do I get
OneNote to default to the correct location for new notebooks?
