Folder Redirection not working on SMB Network Home Directories

I've setup network home directories on a 10.7.3 server. NHDs are available via SMB currently. I'm trying to setup folder redirection via MCXRedirector for both the ~/Library/Cache folder and ~/Downloads and redirect them to the local client. Client is 10.7.3 joined to OD. I'm using Login Redirection and the option to delete the existing folder and create a symlink. I used these instructions to create the redirectors: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=MCXRedirector
When NHDs are available via SMB, the folders are created on the local client, but the symlinks aren't created in the NHD. I can switch the NHDs to be available via AFP, and then it works fine. I can switch back to SMB and the symlink stays in place and appears to work with no issue.
Am I missing something here? I can't find any documentation that says I can't use MCXRedirector with SMB shares, and I see a number of posts where it appears that people are using it successfully... so I'm not sure what is wrong? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Hi James,
For folder redirection issues, we can go to Windows Logs\Application in Event Viewer to check if some related error events were logged.  Besides, we can also run cmd command
gpresult/v or gpresult/z to collect group policy result to check if something goes wrong.
Regarding how to configure folder redirection, in my opinion, the following article provides a good guide.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 folder redirection not working

    Hi, 
    I've got a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment and I'm trying to get folder redirection working on Windows 7 clients. I've configured the group policy on the DC and it's suppose to redirect the user desktop to a folder sitting on another server. 
    What I've discovered is that any files in that folder aren't being copied down and they aren't visible to the user. I can connect to the folder via its UNC path and when I run a gpresult the GPO is showing that it's applying. 
    Am I missing something? Shouldn't the files be copied down since I've redirected the desktop? Here are the settings I've used: 
    Share Permissions
    Local Administrators: Owner
    Domain Admins: Read/write
    Everyone: Read
    NTFS
    Local Administrators: Full Control on This Folder, subfolders and files. 
    SYSTEM: Same as above. 
    Domain admin: Same as above. 
    Everyone: Traverse folder, execute file, list folder, read data, read attributes and read extended attributes to This Folder only. 
    GPO Settings: 
    Under User Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Folder Redirection -> Desktop
    Setting is Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location. 
    Target folder location - Redirect to the following location
    Root path: FQDN\Shared folder name
    GPO is linked to the OU I want to test with and there is a user account in it. 
    Any tips would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • HT4623 my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
    In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

  • Windows 7 (Ent) Sp1 on server 2012 R2 HyperV, RFX USB redirection not working

    Hello, 
    I currently have  windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed. I have built two virtual machines. A windows 8.1 and Windows 7 sp1. Both are enterprise editions  
    For RemoteFX the hypervisor is using a Zotec GTX 760 GPU. It recognizes it and uses it to apply remoteFX adapter on my Windows 7 Sp1 VM. 
    As you are aware I do not need to use a GPU to enable RFX on my Windows 8.1 it can do this without the need of a GPU.    
    Using an RDP client( v8.1)  I can connect to my Windows 8.1 VM with a USB headset,memory Key or a printer and they all enumerate on the Virtual machine. The driver for each device installs 
    and I can use the device without any issues. 
    However this issue lies with the Windows 7 SP1 VM. I can connect to it via RDP( Same client)  but I cannot redirect any devices to it. I have installed the latest integration services available on the VM. I have ran all updates available.
    Because I have ran all updates the rdp version on the VM is running v8.1.
    Previous to installing the updates USBr still was not working
    I have enabled the following group polices under remote desktop services on the Windows 7 SP1 VM : 
    RDP 8.0 -- Enabled
    Configure RFX -- Enabled
    Is there a known issue with USB redirection not working on a Windows 7sp1 virtual machine hosted on server 2012 Hypervisor ??
    Many Thanks 
    Brian 

    Hi,
    According to the log above, I found that we run the script on both Server6 and Server7. Errors as below:
    Server6: Conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section.
    Server7: Couldn't figure out valid servers from the specified destination scope. Check your parameters and try again.
    Since we can only run the RollAlternateserviceAccountPassword.ps1 Script on CAS server, the script not works well if Server6 is MBX server.
    For Server7, based on the error message, it seems you still have no right to run the script/cmdlet.
    Please add your account to Organization Management Role group(ADUC->domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) to test if possible.
    By the way, from Technet:
    You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Client Access Security" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

  • Windows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)

    SWindows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)% Greetings,
    Today I ugraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition and am having a problem with my 5. surround sound that previously worked perfectly in Windows Vista Ultimate.
    I am using an X-Fi XtremeGamer PCIe card and the problem is that I have full working surround sound, but the bass/ subwoofer isn't working.
    Previously in Vista I enabled bass redirection in the Creative Console and this would make the subwoofer work. In Windows 7 in the console there is a bass redirection option but it doesn't work. Also in the Creative Audio Control panel there is NO option for bass redirection either.
    Audio sounds tinny and I am 99.9% everything is set up correctley, I think this is a driver problem. At this moment I'm unsure if this issue plagues both the 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows 7 or just the 64bit version (since the console launcher is 32bit).
    Anyone had a similar problem and cracked it's Apart from this small glitch Windows 7 is great!
    Thanks!

    WRe: Windows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)h heya, I have exactly the same problem.
    running 64-bit windows 7, X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, Trust 5. speakers.
    the bass used to work in XP because I could enable bass redirection and alter crossover frequency.
    these options are now no longer available in the windows 7 drivers (.4.90) and my bass is not working at all.
    it is very annoying, there has been no comment from creative than i can find because it only appears to happen to a small percentage of speakers.
    basically if someone from creative can't help fix the problem,?people with this problem?will unfortunately be forced to purchase a different brand of sound card because my speakers certainly aren't broken and work with the on-board sound fine.
    so if anyone else has the same problem or any advice on how to fix the problem, please comment.

  • Automatically Add to iTunes folder is not working in iTunes 10.1

    Hello,
    I have a problem since the iTunes Update 10.0->10.1.
    The "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder is not working in iTunes 10.1.
    Whenever I put mp3-files in that folder, iTunes only adds these files when I start iTunes. I put some new files in this folder and nothing happens. Only when I restart iTunes the mp3s are added to my library.
    Greetings
    Thomas

    It always worked that way. iTunes only acts on that folder if iTunes is running. It does not have to be playing, but it does need to be open.
    If you add files to the Automatically Add folder while iTunes is closed, they will sit there until iTunes is restarted.

  • Some attachment buttons not working from external networks

    Hi guys,
    We have an eSourcing system that we access internally from server.internal.com . We also make this eSourcing system available to external vendors through www.external.com .
    The external access is done using a Citrix AGEE system (reverse proxy, etc.). As part of this, the AGEE has the ability to change the hostname in the URL so the real server is hidden from external vendors. For example, when eSourcing generates a webpage, the AGEE searches through and replaces all http://server.internal.com references to http://www.external.com , and vice-versa for incoming calls.
    This works for about 95% of the content, but there are a fer places where the links are not re-written correctly. One example is the File Attachment buttons when replying to a question. However, other file attachment buttons work correctly.
    1. Does anyone else have a similar situation, using a Citrix or other product for external vendors?
    2. Does anyone have a similar problem where certain links/buttons are not working from external networks?
    3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
    4. Are there any settings that are specific to external access that may need to be set?
    Thanks guys for any help/insight.
    Michael.

    SAP has re-written some of their code to help rectify the problem. We have also been working with Citrix to provide additional fixes. If anyone else has these problems, apply the latest patch of eSourcing and contact Citrix support to get the AGEE changes needed to make it work.

When I back to office all new e-mail loaded automatically. I have no problem with yahoo email setup in the same Z10 hand set work in both Wi-Fi and Mobile network. I have data plan with my carrier. Both emails were working in my previous Blackberry hand set Bold 9900. But with this New Z10 this become a problem
    What could a the problem and I need help please

    The URL you provided https://... does require SSL as it has a "s".
    Have you tested the server OMA setup with a notebook or desktop (https://webmail.domain.com/OMA)?
    You should receive a login prompt for username & password following by an Inbox listing of messages.
    We used this step to verify server setup before configuring an iPhone. Lastly, we made certain that connectivity would work from outside or within our company by doing the following:
    1) created A record for webmail.domain.com to a public IP that route through the firewall on 443 to the Exchange server's private IP - this handles external traffice
    2) added an internal DNS record for webmail.domain.com to the private IP of the Exchange server.
    This ensures that webmail.domain.com sync's to exchange from outside or from within the Enterprise.

  • Need Help setting up "Network Home Directories" or Something Similar

    Alright so, I am sure the answer to my question exists but I have no idea what i am looking for as far as syntax is concerned. I have taken over as tech at a full mac School and have not touched a mac before in my life. I will try my best to give a detailed description without an entire life story.
    My school has 10.4 on laptops which we run a script on to bind to a directory allowing them to access accounts created on our server. That part works fine. The problem we are having is syncing or saving any files/changes to these networked accounts. The accounts seem to have home directories created, i went through workgroup manager and set up login/out and background syncs, and nothing seems to work(Copy/save). This year it would have been nice to have the syncing feature since all student/teacher laptops would go back and forth from home and work. However next year will change a bit since we will keep all student laptops here and the teachers will still take them home. We also have desktops of course which do not move and will be accessed by the students.
    I need to find a way for students to log into the server to access their account and have it automatically pop up displaying their own files/folder on any machine they access since they wont always be at the same machine. considering there will be upwards of 100 students accessing each machine, local syncing for this would not be a good idea. My best guess would be setting up network home directories so they can log into and work directly from the server and have nothing but the original OS installed on their local machine.
    As far as the teachers go, Since they have one laptop the entire year and take them home the syncing method would be the best. That way they can come here, turn on their laptop, automatically sync as they log in, and save everything when they log out (or every so many minutes since some of them close it and just run home). I tried doing this with a student account but could not get it to work. My other problem with this is that the teacher laptops are 10.5 and I have no clue how to bind them to the directory since I was not the one who created the original script which is something i would like to reverse engineer to my standards since it has some nice little things in it I just wish to tweak.
    A short recap of what i need:
    1) Network based accounts with network home directories, nothing locally saved
    2) Network Based accounts with Portable Home Directories, Syncing between local and server files
    3) Bind 10.5 machines to server
    4) Program to read and edit a script.
    I somewhat know the terminology for PHDs and MHDs and have read a bit about those but still cannot get them to work, but I am extremely frustrated with my lack of terminology for NHDs (If that is what they would even be called) and have had a hard time finding any information on how to set them up. The only thing i found was stating that if the server goes down, so do the accounts. Which isnt a problem since we have multiple servers as well as last ditch local accounts for students to just access the computers.
    As far as i know, our servers are running LDAPv3 w/ OD, maybe even not with OD, I really don't know. If anyone can give me any help with this it would be much appreciated. If you need any additional information let me know and I will try my best to get it to you. I may even be willing to wipe everything and start fresh if it is required since these havent been used much in over 2 years, only for drive mounting storage.

    I received some information on another forum, however I am still stuck.
    So i rebound a laptop to the server via Directory Access, created a new account using Workgroup Manager, set the Home Point in WGM for the Account to a specified folder on the server's raid and no luck.
    The account authenticates with the server, but it saves everything locally and ignores the NHD. Anyone with any ideas?
