An error occurred while querying for the user's Redirected Folders data.

As I understand relocating certain default shares (such as the Users' Redirected Documents on SBS 2008 is best done using the provided Wizard (SBS Console, Backup and Storage, Server Storage).

I am trying to use this on a client's server, but am getting the following error:

[Window Title]
Move Users' Redirected Documents Data
 
[Main Instruction]
An error occurred while attempting to move the Users' Redirected Documents data.
 
[Content]
An error occurred while querying for the user's Redirected Folders data. This can occur if you moved the FolderRedirections folder to a different location, or if you changed the letter of the drive where the folder is located. This can also occur if files in the FolderRedirections folder are open.
 
[Close]

There are no open files on this share.  I have also not modified this in any way.

Trying to Google this error is like finding a needle in a haystack...

Has anybody got some advice / ideas ?

I don't understand your question:

Are you running the "Folder Redirection" setup via the wizards?

Have you gpupdate a workstation and checked to see if folder redirection is working?

Have you checked in the Group Policies manually to see if anything is changed?

Absolutely, I would have liked to use the Wizard though... just makes things easier.

Also - with SBS it is always preferable to use a wizard when available, as opposed to doing things manually.
...as long as the wizard works. Which is less frequently with SBS 2008 than the more mature SBS2003
