Windows SBS 2008 Redirected Folders not working Windows 7
I have a customer running Windows SBS 2008 with Windows XP desktops with Redirected Folders. (Desktop, My Documents) Now they buy one new computer that has Windows 7 Pro 64Bit. Join it to the domain with the http://connect and that goes fine. I cannot get the folder to redirect.
Any ideas?

the usual cause of this is not having all the stations and the SBS fully patched. The GPOs that drive the redirection (and other things) are OS version specific. SBS 2008 was released before Windows 7, so you have to apply the client side extensions updates.
It is also possible that somehow the new station did not make it into the correct OU.

I do not know what this is?
"have to apply the client side extensions updates"
"have to apply the client side extensions updates"
There are CSE updates that update the engine and rules that XP can understand. It is a standard windows update, available on WU or WSUS, so if you are fully patched, you should have them already have them. With that said, there were no CSE updates that change folder redirection on XP. windows 7have them by default. And CSEs are CLIENT side extensions...so you don't update them on servers such as SBS.

It is not XP that is the problem it is Windows 7. Could it be that the old folder redirects for this user was for XP and how he is on Windows 7? The folder structure it very different.

By design it can take upto 3 boots to apply Folrder Redirections, when u enable this policy it will wait till all GPO's are applied.
After you post gpresult, also please see Operational Logs of GP. it will show u exactly what happened on W7

Hi,
I think you should have a look at the following link, it's a great write up & will guide you through step by step. Also, if you just disable the link of the existing policy or create a new one as per this, you will isolate any problems with the existing GPO:
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2010/08/best-practice-roaming-profiles-and-folder-redirection-a-k-a-user-virtualization/
Please post your experience & we can take it from there.
If by any chance you can't get it work, please run:
gpresult /v >c:\rsop.txt
This command will create a rsop.txt file in the root of C drive. Please post it here & then it would be much easier to make sense of what exactly is going on.
