I am using the instructions found here: http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=windowsserver&seqNum=61 on a windows 2008 machine. My question is in regard to this step:
2.From the left pane, navigate to User Configuration, Policies, Windows Settings, Folder Redirection.
I don't see how to do this. I am in the server manager and breaking down from the features expanding section. Is there a specific GPO editor that I need to be in to make these changes or can I do it from inside the server manager?
You should be able to do this from within the Group Policy Management Console, inside or outside Server Manager:

It sounds like the problem you are having is that you have not added the Group Policy Management feature in Server Manager.
