Hi all -
I am getting ready to deploy a domain with several servers and am currently working on initial configurations in a testing environment. The servers are all Hyper-V guest O/Ss (Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition w/ GUI) running on very robust Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition hosts (w/ no GUI). Among my VMs, there are 2 domain controllers, a file server, and 4 RDS session hosts for hosting various apps and databases. The file server and the session hosts are members of the domain. I am having a number of very quirky issues and will be posting other questions about some of them here over the next few days - but, for now, my question is in regard to folder redirection.
I setup folder redirection in the Default Domain Policy. I am using basic settings to redirect the Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos folders to a share on the file server (\\FS1\users). As I understand it, this should create a sub-folder for each user under that share, the name of which derives from the username, and place their Documents, etc. inside. When I log in locally to one of my RDS session hosts, the folder redirection policy works perfectly. It also works via Remote Desktop (mstsc) when I log on as the domain Administrator. But, it does not work when I login as a standard user via Remote Desktop. This would seem to be a permissions issue, but I can't figure out what permissions to adjust,
The shared folder itself has the proper NTFS and Share permissions as far as I can tell (otherwise this probably wouldn't work at all even when users log in locally). Also, I have checked under the Delegation tab in the policy and Authenticated Users have Read and Apply permissions. I have also added the RDS session host computer with Read permission under the Delegation tab.
Can anyone suggest what else I might look at?
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks much! :-)
