Sorry for this basic question but I need to understand...
When Helpdesk create a new user they copy a template directory. It contains Document sub-folder that user has modify rights to. This is special folder that is actually called My Documents a hang over to the old days
GPO for folder redirection says to create folder under \\server\home
I'm seeing Event Viewer failing to apply Redirection policy because it is trying to create adocuments folder and the user has specifically been set with list rights to the directory only to force them to create their files under their set folders e.g. My Documents. So a lot of W10 machine have their local document properties as C:\users\xxx because the GPO isn't applying and that is probably the out of box setting
First question how does this special folder work when you view it on the host homedrive server (2012 R2) is displays as documents but under sharing is actually called MY Documents
Our user estate is 7 and 10 so I thought easiest way to fix is to simply rename folder from My Documents to Documents but this is going to cause more trouble due to user shortcuts and also GPO for office has "My Documents" as temporary save location
How can I best fix this?
