Folder redirection (Desktop) not working sometimes

I'm having an issue where sometimes desktop redirection is not working properly.
We have AD set to point the profile path to a local mandatory profile, with GP redirection set for several items, including desktop. However, about half the time when the user logs in, the desktop showing is from their local profile (C:\Users\[username]\desktop).
By logging out and back in a couple times it will finally load the desktop from the redirected location on the network, and the correct icons will show on the desktop, but it will ultimately not work again on the next logon.
Tried GPUPDATE, didn't fix the problem. It doesn't appear to be a rights issue, as I can successfully connect to the redirected desktop folder from within the user's account. What I don't understand is why it is ever loading the user's local profile desktop,
when it is supposed to load the mandatory one.
Any ideas are appreciated!

Figured it out.
The OU the computer was in didn't have the computer GPO linked. One of the computer GPO settings was to delete the locally cached profile of the user upon logout. Since this wasn't being done, Windows was loading the locally cached profile rather than the
mandatory profile. This also was apparently causing the local account desktop to show rather than the redirected desktop. I'm assuming it was irregular depending on which profile was showing most recent modified.

Folder Redirection did not update to the new server

hello guys, I had migrated quite some time ago to a new server.
I thought everything works fine, basically the server functionality DNS, Replication and other stuff works fine.
But I notice that some of the workstation did not actually update its folder redirection to the new server.
Their desktop and my documents still points to the old server.
So their offline files, is becoming larger and larger.
I have some workaround but it's a lot of work. Question is, why those Win 7 workstation folder redirection did not update to the new server.
What should be the best practice? During the migration process from the old server to the new server, all workstation should be turned on?
Or any tools to update those workstation to the new server without losing their files?
Basically, just editing the registry to point to the new server will help. But it means losing their current files and whatever old stuff that is on the server will be the one that will be shown on their desktop and documents.
any inputs is greatly appreciated.

Hi biswajeetpattnaik, before migration it was Windows 2003.
Then I introduce Windows 2008.
Then I introduce a new Windows 2012.
Now Windows 2012 is the main DC.
Actually, everything is under control right now. As what I said on my first post, I manage to do some work around.
The only question I have on mind, is how on earth this thing happen.
I was assuming, that the workstation will be able to point to the new server, without any glitch since everything is working fine.
And the GPO was applying on the workstation. If I type gpresult /v on the workstation is it being applied. Even if I run GP Modelling it is also shows on the result that the folder redirection is being applied.
But to my surprise the folder redirection still points to old server, if I have not discovered it then it would be difficult if some files will get lost.
Thanks for your reply.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

In Flex application functionality is working sometimes and not working sometimes..

Hi,
Please help me on this..
In my flex application some functionality is working some times and not working sometimes..
In my project i have 5 sections with 5 separate screens..Each screen is of one diffeent module.
After logining into the application:
I will go to one screen..First time every functionality is working in that screen..
Ex:: I have a screen with datagrid.From that user will select one job name from datagrid click on next button..
Based the job name the user selected i have to display some information in next screen and customer names.customer names is a combo box..
below is the code:::
               public function populateAllOEMCustomers(event:ResultEvent):void
        1)     var object_CustomerList:CustomerList = event.result as CustomerList; //Assigining result object values to Object reference variable.
          2)    var allOEMCustomersCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); //Declaration ArrayColliction referance variable.
         3)       var i:int=0;
         4)      var customerComboLabel:Label = new Label();
          5)      for (i = 0;i < object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.length; i++)
                    var strCustName:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.getItemAt(i).toString();
                    var strCustId:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustId.getItemAt(i).toString();
                    customerComboLabel = new Label(); //Dynamic declaration of label.
                    customerComboLabel.name = strCustName; //Assinging the customer name to the Label name field.
                    customerComboLabel.text = strCustId; //Assingning the customer id to the Label text field.
                    allOEMCustomersCollection.addItem(customerComboLabel); //Adding Lable into the ArrayCollection referace variable.
                //customerComboID.selectedItem = "--";
                OEMCustomersComboID.dataProvider = allOEMCustomersCollection;
                OEMCustomersComboID.selectedItem = -1;
This functionality is working fine when i visit to this screen first time..If you go back to another screen and come back to this same screen and click on next button this time customer names combo box has no customer details..I am getting Nullpointer Exception and it is showing the line number 5( i have given the number for code given above..)
If i change the first line of the code to below code:: every time the above functionality is working fine.Not getting any error msg..
var object_CustomerList:Object= event.result ;
If i type cast it to specific class(CustomerList) ,functionality is not working ..getting null pointer exception..If i type cast it to Object everything is working fine..In my code wherever i have typecasted it to specific class functionality is not working(gettingNullpointerExcepion).
Please help me on this..I am not getting what could be the reason..
I am using::Flex 3,Flash player 10.1
Thanks in advance..

Satya

Hi Satya,
This sometimes as in your case might not work as the way you have specified the RemoteClass attribute in your AS class. As somtimes there may be a case as before it is mapped to a server side you are returned the data and so that you may not get the data as your Custom class but as normal Object type.
So in order to avoid this you can map the server side class to AS classes in the PreInitialize handler itself as shown below:
Specify the preinitializeHandler in your main application and write the below function.This way also you can map AS classes with the server side. So that you will not have any problem referring your application as AS class types.
You can use the same line for registering all the classes. By using this you can remove all the [RemoteClass] attributes on all AS classes and include it at single place.
preinitialize="onPreinitialize()"
private function onPreinitialize():void
registerClassAlias("com.expeditor.ScriptAdmin.Objects.CustomerList", CustomerList);
Here in the above line of code the string in quotes refer to the namespace of the Server side class and the latter is your AS class. Also dont forget to import the namespace of the corresponding AS class in the file.
Try this and let me know..
Thanks,
Bhasker

"access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.

My customer found that "access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.
But this issue can be solved by logging on from another machine, or restarting the DeskI.
For I can reproduce this issue, so I just want to know that:
1.What is it probably related to?
2.If this issue happens again, what can I suggest my customer for tracking it?
For example, get some log files from servers etc.
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Also you can try the following solution.
1. Import the universe.
2. Go to manage access restrictions
3. Remove the restriction .
4. Again create the rescrition and unchecked the " limit size of result set to"
5. Now assign it to the unlimited results group ( this is the name of
the group we have given to those users who should be able to retrieve
more than X rows)
6. Now we save the universe. (Dont export the universe).
I hope this will help you.

Does using self-signed cert. on ISE server has anthing to do with url redirect being not working

Hi,
I am setting up wired ISE environment. Everything is going fine, except url redirect is not working.
I just wondering, if using self-signed certificate on ISE server has anothing to do with the problem ?.
Appreciate your input.
Thanks

Hi,
As long as you have not changed the hostname or the domain name (and dns is accurate). You should only receive the certificate warning but still get redirected without any issues.

My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

Muse site on BC - URL Redirects list not working

Hello. A Muse site has just gone live on BC host.
The URL redirects don't appear to be working.
Doing a Google search on 'parkerandassociates.co.nz Amy Williamson' gives a result leading to http://www.parkerandassociates.co.nz/people/amy-williamson/ From the screen grab below the Redirect is showing that this should be working, but in reality the page is not being found. I tried several times to edit the Action and also imported the Import Redirect Urls method and it imported successfully.
My import file was CSV and had one row for consisting of the following columns Old Url (= /people/amy-williamson/) New URL (/amy-williamson.html) Enabled (True). I wasn't quite sure what to put in the columns for Enabled, so I put 'True' as shown below. But still the redirection is not working.
Can anybody tell me where I could be going wrong?
Cheers
Grant

Hi Grant Senior,
Update the source of the redirect from /people/amy-williamson/ to /people/amy-williamson/index.html and the URL http://www.parkerandassociates.co.nz/people/amy-williamson/ should then redirect successfully. This is because BC sees the source as a directory and not an actual page.
I have done this for http://www.parkerandassociates.co.nz/people/amy-williamson/ on your behalf, and can confirm that it is now working.
Cheers.

Ok my ipod keyboard is not working sometime it type and i didn't press anything i calibrated it and nothing happen but now it does not type these letters(d,x,r) help please because my cousin will be so mad

ok my ipod keyboard is not working sometime it type and i didn't press anything i calibrated it and nothing happen but now it does not type these letters(d,x,r) help please because my cousin will be so mad because he is letting me use it unntil he givs it to his other cousin. Like before he gave it to me he went to the mall to get the screen fix but i dont think it had affected it because i had it for two months now please help please i dont want him mad at me.

Make sure the screen is clean
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Satellite A300 - keyboard does not work sometimes

Hi,
the boot my Toshiba Satellite A300 Notebook the keyboard does not work sometimes?
After a reboot everything is ok!
Does anyone know why the keyboard does not work sometimes?
greetings

Hello
Do you notice the same behavior with external keyboard? So you can check if the problem is related to internal keyboard/mainboard or something else.
But its not easy to say something about these sometimes issues But if the keyboard would be really defective I dont see a big problem. Exchange is not so complicated and keyboards are not expensive. ;)

Folder Actions will not work - tried everything

Recently Folder Actions simply stopped working on 10.6.4. They worked fine before then recently just stopped working.
I've tried everything I can think of, including:
1. completely removing enabling & disabling & enabling folder actions through the setup app.
2. trashing folder actions plist files in user domain and relaunching
3. disabling related launchd processes with lingon
4. trashing launch agents in user domain and also trying to unload them in terminal
5. trying to kill the folder actions dispatcher process in activity monitor (just relaunches, as it should)
6. emptying system caches including dyld shared cache using cocktail
7. doing most of the above and restarting
It's driving me nuts. Any other ideas?
here's some entries from syslog:

I finally go Folders Action to work, after being unable to use it even for a simple beep for years now.
Here is what I did:
1. Changed permissions to 755 for the following folder and two contained files (note that 775 didn't work for me)
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
2. Changed the following lines within ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist (using TextWrangler)
from:
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
to:
<key>OnDemand</key>
<true/>
Prior to the permissions changes within #1 above, the value of <true/> kept getting changed back to <false/> by something in the system... and though
there was improvement by the permissions changes, the following console message appeared until false was changed to true.
com.apple.FolderActions.enabled[4127] launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.FolderActions.folders
At this point true is staying true, and not being changed by unknown forces to false, and the above message is not appearing.
3. The only other thing I did prior to #1 and #2 above, was to run the script (unsaved),
tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Folder Actions Dispatcher.app" to tick
This little tell line caused something to occur where my Folder Action surprised me and worked for the first time though it took about 30 seconds and was erratic,
sometimes performing, sometimes not, though if I would do move something into the folder to trigger the action that should occur, and did not occur, then at the point
running the above tell line or script would cause the action to occur.
4. At this point I don't fool with the tell line or script from #3, and it seems that systemevents has gotten involved, as well as launchd, and with my simple Folder Action script
I'm getting the folder action within 10 seconds compared to 30 to 45 if ever seconds.
5. This is still too early to tell if this is the wonder pill I've needed since Leopard, and now Snow Leopard (and maybe Tiger as well: I forget when I even tried Folder Actions).
There was a time when I moved things around, so that the items normally found in the former AppleScript folder, were placed elsewhere in subfolders, so I don't know if that lead to this...
because I could get Folder Actions to work on Macs in the Applestore, but not my own Mac. Watching the console messages was helpful. I don't think it's a big concern that
deprecated messages are found sometimes. That's a just a normal part of the constantly rebuilding of things that goes on. It's more like a reminder that we've got an upgraded
OEM part were going to start using, and the older part won't be available after such and such date, so program accordingly, and in the meantime drive.

Folder redirection doesn't work in DOS and other apps

We are redirecting my documents and some other locations.
If I open a dos window and cd c:\users\username\documents it does to a local directory not the redirected location. I can browse that same path in explorer. it seems to only be when I use the library and shortcuts in a "open" dialog that I see the folder redirection location.
A new application we are using saves the config file to "my docs\application\session"
I've saved the config file to the redirect my docs\application\session, but the application doesn't pull up with the config. I'm guessing its not using the correct environment variable to look for the config file. What is the correct environment variable that would recognize redirected folders?
thanks,jb
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I'm having the same problem. It just started yesterday. My top row buttons were not working in SMS and Loopt. I did a reset. I did a restore. I removed all applications and restored to original factory settings and did not put my backed up information back on- still he same issue. The "messages" and "clear" buttons do not respond in SMS, but the screen responds in that location in all other applications and on the home screen. It definitely seems to be a software issue and not the screen itself.

Remote Desktop not working on client after crash

I was installing the ARD Client along with some other OS upgrades on two client computers. My main ARD console was busy copying some files so I set up ARD to install the pkgs via the task server on another Mac. During the install my main ARD console crashed. Now the clients show up with the status that Screen sharing is allowed but they show the old version of the ARD client is installed. I manually installed the new ARD client but it still shows up on my console as the old version. Sometimes I can connect to the clients and sometimes I cannot. I can't do anything other than screen sharing and that is not working well either. I went to the client computer and stopped and started ARD through system preferences. When that didn't work I used the terminal command to kickstart ARD on the client. No change on the admin side. I've also noticed when I am able to connect to the client that it is constantly reconnecting to it like it is dropping the connection. I ran Activity monitor on the client and ARDAgent shows up there but keeps disappearing like its starting and stopping on its own. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them?

When I looked in this folder, I saw the "Client" folder with the red "no access" icon on it. I did a GetInfo and changed the permissions for this folder to include Administrators with read/write (why it wasn't already like this as I was logged into the server through ARD as admin [server is headless], I'll never know).
I propagated this perm changes down through the folder's children and all seems well. Its likely that because of the access issue, ARD could not initiate any connections (vnc://serverIP did not work either initially).
YMMV.
