Problems with Folder Redirection


Recommended Posts

I just enabled folder redirection using group policies. Basically I enabled

this for Application Data, Desktop, and My Documents. Now for some reason

we've been having issues, so I deleted the GPO and server shares, but for

some reason the workstations are still trying to sync.

 

How can I remove rfolder redirection altogether?

 

Thanks

Re: Problems with Folder Redirection

 

this specific redirection looks great before applying...many software

becomes dumb when trying ..\ from one of this folder as they don't come back

to the root profile folder..

 

Which policy removal did you choose?

Re: Problems with Folder Redirection

 

I learned the hard way that deleting the GPO itself doesn't actually fix the

issue. The Application Data, Desktop, My Documents, and Start Menu areas of

the GPO must be edited to 'redirect the folder back to the local user profile

location' when the policy is removed . Then, the GPO must be de-linked and

de-enforced, and then removed altogether. The all the settings revert back to

the local profiles.

 

Or at least this worked for me
