I have about 300 workstations in my environment -mostly Windows 7 SP1 and some Windows 10. For these workstations, I have document redirection configured for their Desktop and Documents folders. This is working fine.
Because of the age of the server where the redirected documents lives, I would like to move the shares to a different server and update the GPO.
I attempted this last night - I robocopied all of the files from the users share to my new server, unshared them from the old server. Updated my GPO to go from \\oldserver\users to \\newserver\users. Replicated my DC to make sure that all DCs had the updated GPO.
I then rebooted some machines and the change didn't seem to happen. I dug into the registry - under HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer -- both ShellFolders and UserShellFolders -- the paths were still pointing to \\oldserver\users.
I then did a gpupdate /force, rebooted again and still had the same problem.
What am I missing here? Does the document redirection tatoo the registry?
Thanks in advance
