I have a windows 2008 R2 Citrix server with Web interface on it. &nbsp;i am using the Windows Folder redirection to re-direct Documents, Pictures etc... I am also using roaming profiles (which are working). &nbsp;When I log in via Citrix I open the app, save something in Documents, the folder never gets created on \\VM02-DC\FolderRedirectio<wbr />n$ &nbsp;I have the same permissions on the folderRedirection$ as I do on the profile directory. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The only error I see in the logs is:<br />
<br />
Windows failed to apply the Folder Redirection settings. Folder Redirection settings might have its own log file. Please click on the &quot;More information&quot; link.<br />
AND<br />
Failed to apply policy and redirect folder &quot;Documents&quot; to &quot;%HOMESHARE%\Users\CitrixT<wbr />estUser&quot;.<br />
&nbsp;Redirection options=0x1211.<br />
&nbsp;The following error occurred: &quot;&quot;.<br />
&nbsp;Error details: &quot;The specified path is invalid.<br />
&quot;.<br />
<br />
I am not sure where its getting the previous error, I have nothing like %homeshare% set anywhere??? The is no profile path set in AD..<br />
<br />
Any Ideas?
