Folder Redirection
We have a windows server 2008 r2 server with mostly windows xp clients. The folder redirection is working perfectly for them. Of the couple of machines that we are trying to upgrade we are having issues with folder redirection. Specifically laptops.
Folder redirection is setup to \\server\users$\%username
On the laptop as an administrator my folder and desktop redirection works perfectly. As a standard user it does not. in trouble shooting this I gave the user admin rights, but this did not change anything. gpupdate /force brings up a message:
Updating Policy...
User Policy update has completed successfully.
The following warnings were encountered during user policy processing:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before the
next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.

For more detailed information, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.
Certain User policies are enabled that can only run during logon.
Certain Computer policies are enabled that can only run during startup.

GPO is set as follows
Basic - redirect everyone's folder
\\server\users$
grant the user exclusive rights
move the contents to a new location
also apply for older OS
Please Help!!!!

Folder redirection to a new location is not working
Currently in SCM we have all Windows 8 users Documents and Desktop redirected to a users home folder in a Netapp share. We are planning on moving them to a Windows File Server. As a test I moved my home folder in AD to the new share. But
SCM is still redirecting my Documents and Desktop to the old share. I also tried excluding my user account from the user collection used for Folder Redirection. Created a user collection and configuration item just for my account and SCM is still
trying to redirect to the old share.
Help please
ThanksI have created a user collection with my id as a test user and also under user data and user profiles I created a user data and profiles configuration item under Folder redirection. For Desktop and documents I selected REdirect to remote and for configure
folder redirection path I checked Redirect to the users home folder . In Active Directory I made the new Windows Server share my home directory.

Microsoft-Windows-Folder Redirection Error 502. CSC database locked by another user
Dear all,
We are finalizing our Windows 7 migration where we migrated 500+ clients. In our enterprise concept we implemented RUP (Roaming User Profiles) and Redirected Folders for all
users. The Redirected Folders have been by enabled by a single GPO which redirects all folders from
AppData to
Searches \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%.
Problem:
The RUP and Redirected folders solution works fine until a new user wants to logon. This new user has been migrated to RUP and Redirected on another system and
he just wants to work on another workplace or gets a temporary pc. What happens is that redirected folders do not work. The user gets a message that the folder is not reachable and desktop is empty.
Troubleshooting:
Soon I found out that something was being locked. If we used a user account which had working Redirect Folders than this
worked for that user. An event of 10 was logged in OfflineFiles area of EventViewer to reconnect the path which was configured in the GPO.
This is example screenshot. It says "Error on Open Folder. \\server.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard disk
on this computer, or a on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
These symptoms happen randomly and not on all workstations. The pain here is when it happens on a portable computer. For desktop we disabled the "Disable Offline Files' in "Manage
Offline Files" control panel and then reboot. After the reboot the folders are directed
and it works without these errors... On portable computer we can't use this work around as they need to work offline.
If I connect to the share without the FQDN like \\servername\documents$\%username%\Desktop than this works fine and user can access all folders. When I try the FQDN path which is
configured in the GPO to redirect user to like \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop than it fails with this message. I personally think because the C:\Windows\CSC database is locked by the previous user who has been logged on this system.
An example of the event generated in the Applications Event viewer part (I removed some username and server path):

I have tried all different option even to rebuild the CSC database but this also was not helping. I hope we are not dealing with a bug.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards, Ivan Versluis http://www.networknet.nlIvan and SteveDIG - Thanks for taking the time to post detailed information about what you have found. I have found the same things over the past few months and have been working with Microsoft to resolve this. Like Ivan, I have been told by
MS that this is a design problem in Windows 7, but they did admit it is a bug and did not charge me for the case. That was the good news. The bad news was that the problem is so 'deep' in Windows 7 that it will not be fixed until Windows 8 and
the CSC engineering team in Redmond has rejected several requests to fix this issue in Windows 7 from several customers. I personally feel we should have hauled our TAM in over this, but that wasn't my call so we haven't attempted to get an attitude
change from MS.
<RANT> I find this completely outrageous. Windows is supposed to be a multi-user operating system suitable for deployment to mobile workforces spread around the world and often using slow VPN links. Offline folders, folder redirection,
slow link detection, etc. are all great on paper and as I did the design work for the W7 solution I've just built I sold these advantages heavily. I now have serious egg on my face and am not happy. Like others here I missed this in testing as
multiple users are a fringe for us, but still important, I unfortunately didn't think to specifically test for multiple users, though I tested the features thoroughly and was happy with the results when used on single user machines.</RANT>
As identified above, this issue manifests when more than one user uses a machine and their Offline folders (all redirected folders are configured this way by default) are in an offline state when the first user logs off. The second user cannot access
this 'offline' share so folder redirection fails. We get burnt as we have latency=0 configured for slow link detection with Offline folders so users always work offline. This is partly because of WAN optimisers in the network that lie to Windows
so the online/offline transition doesn't work on slow links (not MS's fault), and partly because it made sense for other reasons.
The workaround Microsoft and I came up with for our environment was to use individual file shares for each user. We had been using a common file share with each user folder under that file share. Changing to an individual share for each users
means the share is not locked by the previous user.
Examples
This would cause a problem if John then Emma logged on to the same machine. Folder redirection would fail for Emma:
\\FileServer1\Users$\john
\\FileServer1\Users$\emma
So would this if DFS was used
\\my.domain\users\john (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\John)
\\my.domain\users\emma (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\Emma)
This would fix the problem:
\\FileServer1\John$
\\FileServer1\Emma$
Unfortunately we then figured we could move these shares behind DFS like so:
\\my.domain\homes\john (points to \\FileServer1\John$)
\\my.domain\homes\emma (points to \\FileServer1\emma$)
This was wrong. The problem returned. I assume the share that is being locked is now the DFS root and not the user share.
The operations team here is very reluctant to go with direct access to the file servers and not use DFS as that will create issues for them in the future when they need to make file server changes. I sympathise with them but can't see an alternative
at the moment as we are deploying W7 and can't stop. If I'd picked this up earlier a third party product might have been the solution (MS actually suggested this when I opened my case).
I hope the information about individual shares above is helpful to someone. Otherwise I don't really have more to add but I needed the rant :-)
<RANT>BTW. Has anyone tested changing a user’s home directory path once it is cached? Try it. Test a scenario where you move the user from one file server to another. You will not enjoy the results. I'll say no more
than this as it is off topic, but it shows the lack of investment in the CSC feature in Windows. Very disappointing</RANT> -
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.

Folder Redirection 502 Access Denied but redirecting to wrong place
Hi,
I have come across a very unusual problem. Folder redirection was implemented a few months ago where a number of folders were redirected with the following settings:
Redirect everyones folder to the same location
Create a folder for each user under the root path
\\server\homefolders
It has worked flawlessly but in recent weeks when we create new users, some of them experience this problem. Folder redirection fails consistently for that user with 502 Access denied. That isn't the unusual bit. This is the unusual bit
- The message is:
Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "\\fileserver\homefolders\joe.bloggs\Documents".
Redirection options=0x1001.
The following error occurred: "Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under "\\fileserver\homefolders\Jane.Doe\Documents".".
Error details: "Access is denied.
Yes for some reason it knows where it should be redirecting to, but then attempts to redirect to someone elses home folder location. I've substituted the server name and user names for security but the name equivalent to Jane.Doe is consistent in every
error.
This only occurs on our RDS 2012 R2 farm, which has 3 session hosts and doesn't happen on any other system. We use roaming profiles. I have logged the user off and deleted the local and network profiles but get the same result. I've
rebuilt the GPO that handles folder redirection, but again, same result. I've checked and double checked Folder Redirection settings and nothing points to a this specific Jane.Doe user.

Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect
Hi
Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
\\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
-> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
-> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
-> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
A very special point:
I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
-> So in my eyes, it should work!
Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
Thank you very much for any help!
Kind regards
DavidHi David,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
tab. As below picture shows.
à
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
à•Setting: Standart
- redirects all folders to the same path
à•Destination
folder: Copy to base directory of the user
Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, please use
gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu -

Windows 8 - Folder Redirection policy missing from GP Results.
Hi guys! This has been giving me a hard time the last day or so. I've got some Win8 machines in our 2003 domain. I've got some GPO's applying with WMI filtering for win8 machines. Mostly these are ok, but i'm having a huge problem with Desktop Folder
Redirection.
After a fresh build and first login, everything works fine. Drive mappings are all there and the Desktop is redirected to to users home drive on the file server. This is being done with Advanced settings using group membership and set to "Create a folder
for each user under the root path" \\dfs1\users. This location is correct and permissions are fine of course as everything works for a while.
After a little while or some unknown event, this redirection stops working.
check these two screengrabs. These are different users on different machines. The machines are identical, are in the same OU and have the same image. The users are different but have the same group memberships and are in the same OU.
This is a working machine. Not the Folder Redirection component was processed and the Policy exists.
This machine is not working. Folder Redirection is processed, but the Policy is missing. Running a gpresult /v on this machine yields:
Folder Redirection
N/A
It was working fine yesterday and this morning. Now at some point a policy refresh stopped it from working. Just trying to figure out what! These are the exact settings currently in place for our win 7 machines which all work just fine. Going a bit crazy
tbh and usually when i post questions i figure it out shortly afterwards anyway huhu. Any help is appreciated!
hwell I though this issue was gone when I switched to a new Task Sequence in SCCM every machine that was built with that was working fine with Folder Redirection happening as it's meant to be. That was for about a week, now it's back to not working.

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.A.
Share Permissions
Local Administrators: Owner
Domain Admins: Read/write
Everyone: Read
Perhaps here is too strong limit.
B. Try to use audit.

1. I updated app-v 5.0 sp3 environment on 2012 R2. Roaming profile users with folder redirection logon fine at first time applications icons available but at 2nd logon applicaitons icons are missed while packages are available. we are using existing
roaming profiles with folder redirection which are running in current environment through APP-V 4.6 2008 R2. Please suggest work around to resolve this issue.
2. TS Nodes of 2008 R2 with App-v 4.6 running fine on Microsoft 2012 private cloud but we are facing performance issue (stuck, slow logon, slow performance etc) when we are moving in new 2012 R2 private cloud. SAP, SCSM and other sevices are running
fine, please provide solution.
Thanks1.) What are you doing with the App-V Icon path? e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\<GUID>\Root\AppVClientUX.exe.0.ico ?
I guess you could workaround it with deploying the icons to a central location and then pointing to the icon out on a central share. Or put the icons in a machine location...I haven't had this issue but that's just off the top of my head.
2.) I have not used App-V 4.6 in an environment like yours BUT would pre-caching the applications be possible? Any chance you'll be moving those apps into App-V 5.0 soon?

GPO (as a whole) problem or Folder Redirection Problem?
Hello everyone,
After a couple hours of looking at different TN articles on folder redirection I just can't get it to work properly. I had some major system errors and had to perform a clean install of the OS. My folder redirections from the old install seem to be in place
and are about the same size despite me backing up all the content before the reinstall on each terminal (4 of them) to a usb drive.
I enabled folder redirection through the dashboard and performed a gpupdate /force I see the GPO in the Group Policy editor but none of my machines seem to be accepting any group policies now that I look at it and write this I have firefox set to update
to the latest .msi and it isn't doing that either could this be a bigger problem than just folder redirection?
Any tips or links to articles I may have not seen would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance everyone.Hi James,
Based on your description, I understand that you enable folder redirection (click Implement Group Policy on
Dashboard) on a Windows Server 2012 Essentials (or a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?).
On current situation, please refer to following and check.
1. Would you please let me know edition information of this client computer?
2. On the server essentials, please open Group Policy Management. Then navigate to WSE Group Policy Folder Redirection and click it. In right panel, navigate to WMI Filtering
and select WSE Group Policy WMI Filter, then click Open button. Please check
Queries in the WMI Filter. You can psot complete queries here (include Namespace and Query).
3. On the client computer, please run the command in a command prompt:
gpresult /z > c:\policy.txt. Then check this policy.txt in C drive or post the result here.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

New Folder Redirection Group Policy is not working
Recently installed a new server on an older network:
Old network server: SBS 2003
New network server: Server 2012 STD
The network is working well and all computers are able to communicate with each other. I have already mapped a few network drives to folders that are located on the server. The owner wants to implement the same Folder Redirection of their Documents folder
(Mixture of WIN7 PCs and WINXP) that their old server provided. I used the following Document to create the Folder Redirection:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649078.aspx
I then went to each computer and performed a gpupdate /force on each computer than logged off the profile. When I logged off, the sync window (folder redirection?) popped up and still showed that it was trying to transfer/sync with the old server that is
no longer on the network. I also logged into the server and the shared folder that I selected for Folder Redirection does not have any data in it.
Is there something else that I am missing. Is there some sort of configuration on the clients themselves that I need to look for such as some Target Path?
I can provide more information upon request.Hi,
Based on your description, have we redirected the folders back before we removed the older server?
Besides, were there some error events in the Event Viewer?
To configure folder redirection, we need to assign users proper share and NTFS permissions.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Security Recommendations for Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc736916.aspx
Besides, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can also be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc786749.aspx
In addition, for folder redirection to work, we need to log off clients twice, or we can enable the following policy.
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System/Logon > Always wait for the network at computer startup
and logon
Hope it helps.

Step by step to disable Folder Redirection for a single user - Windows 7 and SBS 2011 Essentials
OK...I got chewed (by someone I have a lot of respect for) for pounding on an old thread, so I'm starting a new one. I've got the Windows 7 Value Pack Plugin for SBS 2011 Essentials and Folder Redirection is working for everybody. What I'm looking for is
exactly how to go into Group Policy and disable the FD for a single user. I'm not looking for quick, incomplete answers. If you don't have time to give me the 'For Dummies' version, don't bother. Sorry, but I've done all the Googling I can stand for one day
and I'm over it! (and a little grumpy)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Wayne,
Here's what I'd do.
1) create a Security Group in your AD environment. Call it 'Folder Redirection Members' or something like that. Put all the user accounts in your AD environment who you want to have their folders continue to be redirected to the server, do not include the
one user who you wish to exclude. in other words, you're going to use a specific security group to target the Folder Redirection policy (right now, it's Domain Users, which is everyone).
2) Edit the Group Policy that the W7PP created in your AD environment. It's likely called "W7PVP Folder Redirection". Start with verification under the Settings tab, expand Folder Redirection beneath User Configuration states that
Policy Removal Behaviouris set to Restore Contents. Then proceed using the Editor, to make adjustments under the Scope tab; verify membership in Security Filtering. Remove Domain Users,
add in Folder Redirection Members (or whatever you named your group in step 1).
3) on your workstation that your user you are applying the change to disable folder redirection, Log on to the domain account while connected to your network, elevate a command prompt, and perform a 'gpupdate /force' command and then reboot your computer.
Folder redirection configuration should be removed from the system and redirected contents should be restored back to your local path. Verify with inspection of the My Documents or other folders.
Hope this helps. Keep in mind, no warranty implied or expressed in this advice.
Try not to be so darn grumpy. :-/

Windows Server 2008 R2 Folder Redirection on Windows 8.1 Not Working
I am running Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers on 2008 R2 Functional Level. Only our IT Dept is running Windows 8.1, everyone else on 7 Enterprise SP1 edition.
I cannot get Folder Redirection to work on Windows 8.1 which I need to get completed because the current File Server that hosts the current Userprofile\User\Documents is going to be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 DFS.
I ran a group policy results on my Machine and Username, the Folder Redirection Policy is shown with no errors. Yet my "Documents' still point to C:\.Hi,
Here is a similar thread on Group Policy forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/05b12275-c595-4c4a-877a-c6a9e8d5e086/windows-2012-r2windows-81-gpo-folder-redirection-woes?forum=winserverGP
Several possible solutions are delivered including:
1. Try to enable the following setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
2. Run a RSOP to see the applied group policies and check if any conflict occurs which cause the issue.
3. Test to recreate user profile (as the last reply mentioned) to see if issue still exists.

Desktop Folder Redirection slow access
Ok, I've scoured the network for weeks now trying to resolve this.
Using Windows 7 fully patched, and file servers are 2012 R2
We have folder redirection in place for Documents and Desktop.
The folders are redirected to one of their mapped drives. When accessing the mapped drive, the drive hangs whilst the green progress bar occurs when trying to display the desktop folder. Once accessed, this can be ok for further accesses but
then may recur again later. It is only the desktop folder. Documents is fine. I've tried customising the folder for item type, removed the icon cache, indexed the server, recreated local profiles, moved information off and deleted the folder
on server to allow to recreate etc etc. The issues as I say is intermittent but extremely frustrating.
The group policies originally redirected to a mapped drive when the home directory was set up in AD. However, we've moved away from that, and now the group policies use unc for the redirected folders. All permissions on the server are set up
correctly according to the MS kbs. Some people don't appear to have the issue.
The desktop in favorites in Windows Explorer appears to respond fine even when the mapped drive doesn't. Occasionally the mapped drive is fine, and in this case the Desktop in Favorites isn't.
I've checked the registry, all values in Shell Folders and User Shell Folders are set up correctly.
I've reached the end of what could be wrong, and have no idea what is causing this issue. Any help greatly appreciated.

IanHi lan cope,
Please take a try to uncheck the "Automatically detect settings"
under
Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> Automatic Configurations.
Check if this could help here.
Besides, disable TCP autotuning with the following command and check again:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Folder Redirection & Windows 8.1 using SSD Drive
I have Folder Redirection working on hundreds of computers using DFS. It has been going well. However, we recently deployed two Windows 8.1 machines to kick the tires on the OS. The machines have SSD's for booting, so they boot very quickly.
We login and only the one drive is there that is the home directory. I logoff, wait about a minute and login again and bingo they are all there. So I did that little check mark on Group Policy to wait for it to finish completing before login,
but no luck. The event warning I get is as follows:
The user 'W:' preference item in the 'Network Administrators {A8B731EA-F80D-4501-A790-2D0770AFD7A8}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070035 The network path was not found.' This error was suppressed.
Any thoughts?

Is the failed GPO only for Folder Redirection settings? If only Folder Redirection settings failed with the error? Please try to refer to the following thread to see if it helps.
