  • Folder Redirection and Offline Files

    I have Users documents and Favorites redirected using GPO Folder redirection. So everyone has their data redirected to the server. With the feature Always available offline. Then My raid crashed and that Drive become offline. after 24 HRS everyone got
    their Local copy of their files back. 
    Now Why did it take around that much time. The server that used to host the Files was down for 2-3 hrs. Later on I had the server up without the Raid.
    Also 2 users reported that they can see their files but its greyed out with an x and can't access it. Found out they had Always available Offline unchecked . Not sure how did that happened.
    So now I am going to add a new server with the same name and will follow direction to create the Folder and share it according
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443/en-us
    Q 1   What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
    Q 2   If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline or online ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>
    Q 1  
    What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
    Does this mean that what will happen after we create a new share path with the same path name as the previous failed one? If it’s this case, based on my knowledge, local files
    won’t get redirected, for they are just caches and the real files are on the failed share path.
    >>If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline
    or online ?
    As far as I know, we need to access the original share path and sync our offline files with it.

  • 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.

  • Special Folder Redirection like in Citrix

    We currently run a number of published applications on a Citrix server farm. On of the client options on Citrix is called "Special Folder Redirection, Use My Documents and Desktop folders".
    When this is enabled, a user who is using a Citrix app and tries to Open/Save a file, the save or open dialog (or Windows Explorer) shows the My Document or Desktop folders that exist on the local (client) PC. This is completely transparent to the user.
    This makes it easy for users in a Citrix published app to use their local files without having to navigate to Client (C:) \users\Theirname\Desktop.
    I'm evaluating using RemoteApp under Server 2012 R2 as a possible replacement for Citrix. Is it possible to emulate this feature?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    As I understand your question, you want to place the RemoteApp file on your client local desktop instead of searching the other long way. If misunderstand please clarify. If you want the way which I told, then seems no need to do any special task, just can
    open the RD Web URL on local computer, access with username and password and after that check the related RemoteApp. Once you find the RemoteApp we can download the rdp file of that RemoteApp on local system desktop. You can check below snap for detail.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • 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
    David

    Hi 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.

  • 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?

  • Folder Redirection via GPO (Windows Server 08 R2)

    Can you post an image of the settings in the GPO you used?  Maybe we'll see something wrong.

    I have setup a Folder Redirection GPO that works quite well on my test group. The only issue I have seen is with users that have pre-existing data on their computer.If I create a new user in AD, log on as them and save some items to the desktop and documents folder THEN link the GPO, I am unable to see anything in their folders (at least anything that existed before the GPO was linked). If I go to their folder on the server as that specific user, I can see that the GPO worked.If I create a new user and link the GPO to them, THEN create a few documents, I can see what they have created. It appears that the only issue I am having right now is seeing the users data that they had BEFORE the GPO was linked on the server as the system admin.

  • 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.

  • Folder Redirection GPO with Server 2012 R2 and Windows 7

    Hey folks,
    I have recently migrated from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. I have set up a new GPO to redirect: Desktops & My Documents to the server \\dc.companyname.local\folder_redirections\  on all the windows 7 desktops
    in the office.  
    The problem i ahve having is that when i run gpresult is says that the GPO is being applied but when i check the location of the mentioned locations they are still pointing to the local desktop or the old 2008r2
    server. I have double checked the permission on the share folder and i have even set upo a test folder with everyone having full rights and it still will not
    redirect the folders...  any ideas would be most welcome!
    I cannot post pictures yet until i am verified :)

    > locations they are still pointing to the local desktop or the old 2008r2
    Check event logs. Folder redirection creates events if things go wrong...

  • Recreate User Profile that uses Folder Redirection

    Hi all,
    I would to recreate a user profile that is utilizing Folder Redirection. What I would like to do is have the user log back into their computer and have their profile to be recreated. I don't want any of the existing data to be copied over, I just want to
    them to log in and have the system recreate the folder redirection, as if they were a new user logging in for the first time.  We redirect the AppData, My documents, and desktop only. It's a windows 7 system as well.  What's the best way I can accomplish
    this?
    Thanks

    > and have their profile to be recreated. I don't want any of the existing
    > data to be copied over
    If they didn't have a local profile before, there is no "existing data".
    And to be honest, I don't fully understand your question and your goal :)

  • 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):

    Any help is much appreciated.
    Best regards, Ivan Versluis http://www.networknet.nl

    Ivan 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 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.
    Anyone come across this before?

    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
