Hi all,
I am currently reviewing our current GPO's which were created years ago while the server 2003 was still around.
Now, we run server 2008 r2 as a domain controller.
Group policies currently include a lot of unnecessary settings and I am just creating new GPO with the only information that we need.
We use folder redirection for pretty much everything including App Data (Roaming).
The following setting: User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\AppData(Roaming)
Old GPO (2003 - current one) just states the following path: \\servername\users$\%USERNAME%\Application Data
New GPO modeling wizard only allows the following path: \\servername\users$\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming
If we disable the current policy which has got the general path, and enable the new GPO which points to \AppData\Roaming, what is going to happen? Is the data going to be copied over for all users to the new location? I just want to avoid users calling up saying that some things just don't work.
I am sure someone must have done that before. What is going to happen when new GPO kicks in with the new path, and the old one is not linked anymore?
All the best!
