Major Folder Redirection Issues

[Guest circulent]

We are using folder redirection. For some reason we have a few end users

which cannot sync correctly. This is the error we get:

 

Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "RoamingAppData" to

"\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data". Redirection options=80009211.

The following error occurred: "Failed to redirect because the destinaiton

directory "\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data" is offline". Error

details: "The network path was not found.

 

What's odd is that we can access SQL just fine, and the partition called

PROFILES is properly shared as PROFILES$.

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be broken?

 

Thanks

Possibly, the offline files (CSC or Client Side Caching) cache and database

may be corrupted. You may have to reinitialize the cache. One one machine

experiencing this problem, please create the following registry entry (reboot

the machine after making the change):

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache

Key Name: FormatDatabase

Key Type: DWORD

Key Value: 1

 

Reference:

However, be wary that all cache files are deleted and unsynchronized data is

lost. Make a backup copy before doing the steps described in the KB.

Hi Salvador,

 

I tried your suggestion, and it did not work. I ended giving up, and

removing the GPO altogether. Now the client machines are still looking for

the previous location for their profiles (\\sql1\profiles$). Is there a way

to manually make them stop looking? I even tried gpupdate /fordce but that

had no effect.

 

let me know.

 

Thanks
