How do I fix my server environment (roaming profiles/folder redirection)
I have a Windows 2016 server with GPOs that handle folder redirection, plus roaming profiles. I have a question, not necessarily an issue.
Scenario: All of my pcs connect to the server, all pcs have the features mentioned above. If the server is down, the icons on all pcs (desktop icons) go blank or go away. On one pc, the icons do not go away. So, am I missing something in my config? Which one is actually working correctly, the multiple pcs that lose their icons, or the one pc that doesn't?
Follow up question. How do I fix it so they all behave the same?
