asked on

Group policy - folder redirection - same user different PC - not working?

Hi

I recently setup Group policy to enable folder redirection for users' profiles, so that when they log into to their PC's all their main folders are actually stored on the server.

Worked well.

However I have some replacement PC's for 2 users (laptop's actually) and when I joined them to the domain and logged in, it did not apply the folder redirection and all the folders created locally.
Is there something I can to do force it to work on that laptop?

Is there a setting somewhere, that makes the folder only associated with a single PC?

Thanks

Great you got the root cause.
Thanks for all the input. As mentioend the issue was that administator had taken ownership of the user folders (Was navigating from server). Once put back it worked.
