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?
Fix,
1) make the share/s where the redirected folders are available offlibe, part of the share configuration
2) on each workstation or if you apply GPO, control panel offlibe folders have to be enabled
What the change will do is the redirected folders will have cache data on each workstation that the user will be able to access when the server is offlibe.
Compare the workstations and configuration in light of the above.
Both could be correct based on their current configuration.
