Home Drive Mapping in Windows 7
Hi,
Almost of the domain usres who were running Windows XP do not get their home drive mapping (H:) drive when they logon to their new Win 7 PRO PCs. I followed MS KB solutions, Registry settings, no help. Strange, that the H: drive does not appear to be available when trying to map it manually, it does not however, show up as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer. Server is Windows 2K8/SP2 with GP, configured with Folder Redirection; My Documents redirect to H: drive.
From CMD prompt, trying to change to H: drive says "Drive is not ready".
An error msg also pops up when these users logon to new PCS saying "Their Profiles have not been synced with <<"old" server>>, whihc no longer exists.
What shall I do to resolve this?
thanks,
Sharad

if it shows up as a mapped drive, can you access it from explorer?
just how did you set the folder redirection?

can you try and run group policy result wizard on the server to one of the win 7 pc's with a user?
ASKER
Can you tell me how to to run thatGP result wizard for one user? thanks,
in the GPMC applet on the server, there is a menu called "group policy results" in the left pane at the bottom, ther you can run a wizard specify the windows 7 computer, with the right user account, and run the wizard.
This will show you if GPO was successfully applied
also check the event log on the client and see if there is anything relating to the folder redirection

Ok, ran the wizard and came up with following results:
1. On the server: the Folder Redirection result shows as Pending; to be applied only on next logon - We have done several logons before so I wouldn't consider this a viable solution.
2. Client side Logs:
System - Event ID: 1112; Srouce: Group Policy
Application - Event ID: 510; Source: Folder Redirection

thanks,
ok but did you run the GPO result on the server itself? or did you specify the client in the wizard?
and i would need the content of the log, not the name :)
System - Event ID: 1112; Srouce: Group Policy
Application - Event ID: 510; Source: Folder Redirection

ok, I ran gpupdate on the client PC and generate a report that I attached it here as a separate file.
System Log (Event ID:1112)
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.
App Log (ID: 510):
Folder redirection policy application has been delayed until the next logon because the group policy logon optimization is in effect. gpreport

Is this from the Synch Center, as in Offline Files trying to synch to the old location?
Or is it an error from Roaming Profiles?
If Offline Files.....
