ISSUE
\n====<\/p>\n
One of the main reasons for the group policy folder redirection failing is\u00a0 due to the existing folder redirection. What appears to happen is that the system determines if the users folder redirection was already enabled, if the folder was already being redirect it will access the old share and then migrate all of the data to the new share, in this example the file server no longer existed.<\/p>\n
SOLUTION
\n========<\/p>\n
Create a new group policy, for example called \u201cApply Folder Redirect Reg\u201d<\/p>\n
Link the GPO to the relevant OU’s, where folder redirection is failing<\/p>\n
with in the ou create a new logon script (under the user container)<\/p>\n
create a batch file in the following location DOMAIN CONTROLLERNETLOGONPolicy_Reg.bat<\/p>\n
batch file to contain the following<\/p>\n
Under AD Site and Service replicate settings to all servers. Unlink the GPO once you know all users have been updated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ISSUE ==== GPO folder redirection not working.
