what is recommended is to not play with them and let the o/s do its job as it knows what it is doing.. you set the general guidelines

The .v2 is for compatibility reasons. &nbsp;The common items don't get the .v2 suffix and the .v2 area is for items that are specific to vista/Wndows 7. &nbsp;Windows 8/8.1 will add a .v3 and windows 10 will give a .v4 this keeps incompatible profile items separated

I am trying to use Group Policy to Redirect Folders for 2008R2 Remote Desktop Server users.<br />
<br />
In AD, I add &quot;\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles\<wbr />MMouse&quot; for Remote Desktop Services Profile.<br />
<br />
In Group Policy, I redirect folders like desktop - using Basic - Redirection to &quot;\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles&quot;<wbr /><br />
<br />
When a user logs on, it creates the folder &quot;\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles\<wbr />MMouse.V2&quot;<wbr />, but also creates a folder &quot;\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles\<wbr />MMouse&quot; &nbsp;- this folder is where all of my Redirected folders wind up.<br />
<br />
How can I get the redirected folders into the .V2 location

When a user logs on, it creates the folder "\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles\MMouse.V2", but also creates a folder "\\CT01\Root\RDS_Profiles\MMouse"  - this folder is where all of my Redirected folders wind up.
