Losing Folder Redirection?

[Guest Dabwang4363]

We have folder redirection setup so that users Desktop and My Documents are

located on the server. we have a GPO that sets this.

 

Occasionally some laptop users come in and they dont have access to their

documents, the target of their My Documents folder is now local, C:\documents

and settings\...... a GPUPDATE /FORCE fixes this when connected to the

network.

 

It only happens with the odd laptop user and is happening on 2 seperate

sites, one of which is a brand new network. we have the options set so that

this is still processed over a slow network and its still happening.

 

Any ideas?

 

thanks

Nigel,

What error do you get in the client event log?

I had these problems, two possible solutions:

 

1. Group Policy Optmization may be in effect, try restarting the machine

2. Move the contents of My Documents to the new location might be ticked in

the gpo

(User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Folder redirection -> My

Documents -> Settings)

 

Hope this helps
