Can Windows 7 enable Folder Redirection via Group Policy?

Short answer, No.

You can't "Roam" on a single box.. you need a domain dude.

The "Redirection" is to another server, so your profile gets copied down to your box on login, really damn handy if your machine craps out, cause then you just log into another box, download your profile, and your working again!

That did not work for me. I also had to change the location in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion‌​\Explorer\User Shell Folders".
