Windows 7 will throw you an error saying it cannot use the location because it's not indexed. It WON'T show you this error though if you are trying to redirect automatically in the background - it just wont redirect!! Which is handy!!
re-directing the documents to a network location can be done in group policy, and from what i can see everything else can be done in a script, so depending on how many computers there are (you only said "some") it wont be that much of a daunting task
