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.
