Hello!
Scenario
I have a GPO that redirects users documments folder to a network share (\\networkServer\Documents\%username%) in a Windows 2008 R2 domain.
I followed this guide to make the redirection: Configuring Folder Redirection in Windows Server 2008 R2
Share Permissions
Everyone – Full Control
Administrators – Full Control
System – Full Control
NTFS Permissions
Everyone – This folder only
- Traverse folder/execute file
- List folder/read data
- Read attributes
- Create folders/append data
CREATOR OWNER – Subfolders and Files Only
- Full Control
SYSTEM – This folder, subfolders and files
- Full Control
Domain Admins – This folder, subfolders and files
- Full Control
GPO: The "Grant user exclusive access" checkbox is disabled
All the computers are running Windows 7 Proffessional. All the servers are running Windows Server 2008 R2 with all the updates.
Problem
In some computers, nobody cant access to redirected folder, the documments are redirected to C:\users\%username% instead of \\networkServer\Documents\%username%
When I tried to access to the folder \\networkServer\Documents (login as the user or domain administrator) it shows the standard permission error "You don´t have access to this folder".
I do not know how many machines are affected by this error, I think that 10% of them.
The users do not trust in the domain because they save files in documments and, when the login in another computer, these files are not in their documments folder. They are using a usb memory to save the data.
Thanks for helping me!
