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. :-/

  • How do I disable "Exceptions" button for "Block pop-up windows" in Content tab?. I am able to Disable other Exception buttons in this tab using about:config preference.

    Need a way to disable "Exception" button for "Block Pop-up windows" in Tools-> Options -> Content tab. I want to be able to do this for Locking Down Firefox preferences.

    That button doesn't have a pref associated with it, so you can't disable that button with a pref on the about:config page or a lockPref call.

  • Can it be possible to disable outlook anywhere for some few users who are working from home ?

    One of my customer wants to disable outlook anywhere for some of the users who are working from home.They have exchange server 2013 in their premises and also have outlook 2010/2013 on their clients machine.Please advice?

    Hi,
    In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) are using Outlook Anywhere anyways. It is not recommended to use the following command to disable Outlook Anywhere for a specific user:
    Set-CASMailbox UserA -MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp $True
    If you disable it, the UserA would not be able to access the mailbox from both Internal Outlook client (Office) and external Outlook client (Home).
    For your requirement about disable Outlook anywhere for some few users instead of all external users, there seems to be no method to achieve it directly in Exchange server. Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • How to block a single table for a single user

    Hi all.
    I want to block a single Z table for a single user. How to do this?  If he/she tries to display data using SE16 or SE11 Tcode he/she should get an error message.
    Regards,
    Prajwal K.

    Hi Prajwal,
    We can use the function modules ENQUEUE_E_TABLE for locking tables and the function module DEQUEUE_E_TABLE for unlocking tables. With this method, we don't need to lock objects in order to lock the tables. In other words, any table can be locked/unlocked using these function modules.
    Check this sample code:
    *Locking Table*
    data:
    varkey like rstable-varkey.
    varkey = sy-mandt.
    locking the tables............................
    call function 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'
    exporting
    MODE_RSTABLE = 'E'
    tabname = 'MARA'
    varkey = varkey
    X_TABNAME = ' '
    X_VARKEY = ' '
    _SCOPE = '2'
    _WAIT = ' '
    _COLLECT = 'X'
    exceptions
    foreign_lock = 1
    system_failure = 2
    others = 3.
    Hope this helps you.

  • LightDM greeter for a single-user system

    I'm interested in using lightDM as my display manager. However, there seem to be a lot of greeters that are focused on a good experience for multi-user systems. All I'm have is a single-user system, so I'm looking for your guy's opinions on what the "best" lightDM greeter is for a single-user system. I want it to:
    * Be pretty, even if it must be a bit more heavyweight. I consider "pretty" to mean modern/flat
    * Be customizeable, hopefully with at LEAST customizeable colors, and preferably background images
    * Have either a very modern/flat icon set, if there are icons at all, or customizeable icons
    * Not force me to select my account every time I login, it should automatically "select" my account so all I have to do is enter the password. I *might* budge on this one if the design is *really* good
    I'm ok if it has support for multiple users (I'm pretty sure every greeter out there will have that), but I don't want it to reserve too much space on the screen for multiple users, and I want it to still be good with one user. For example, I don't want it to be like crowd greeter, where it's nearly useless without many user accounts

    Why not just test a number of greeters and evaluate which one most suits your use case?  That's the common approach with most things.
    You could also try other DMs like LXDM for example, in order to see how they compare.

  • NAC Guest Server, How to change the password for a single user?

    We have a NAC Guest Server which creates a complex password for all new users created.
    We would like to have normal/simple password for a single user. How can I get this done on a NAC Guest Server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You can setup 3 different flavours of passwords:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063249.
    a. Username Policy 1 - Email address as username
    Use the guest's email address as the username. If an overlapping account with the same email address exists, a random number is added to the end of the email address to make the username unique. Overlapping accounts are accounts that have the same email address and are valid for an overlapping period of time.
    b. Username Policy 2 - Create username based on first and last names
    Create a username based on combining the first name and last name of the guest. You can set a Minimum username length for this username from 1 to 20 characters (default is 10). User names shorter than the minimum length are padded up to the minimum specified length with a random number.
    c. Username Policy 3 - Create random username
    Create a username based upon a random mixture of Alphabetic, Numeric or Other characters. Type the characters to include to generate the random characters and the number to use from each set of characters.
    Note: The total length of the username is determined by the total number of characters included.

  • Purchase Orders form in Query Only mode for a single user

    Hi All,
    I want to make the Purchase Orders form as query only for a single user. I tried by giving 'Query_only=Yes' in the parameters section. I am getting 'FRM-04151: You cannot query records here' message more than 10 time. I know we get this message and this is applicable to all the users. But this message is comming more than 10 times.
    Is there anyway that I can restrict the Query only mode to a single user and please suggest about the message also.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • I have a licence for Master collection 6 windows and I switched to mac. Can I switch the serial some

    I have a licence for Master collection 6 windows and I switched to mac. Can I switch the serial somehow so I would be able to use it in my mac?

    AppleWorks is not legally available for download. You would need to buy a copy. HardcoreMac.com still lists AppleWorks 6 on their website. You could also try eBay but you would need to make sure it is AppleWorks 6.2 or newer to install on OS X.
