I have a Windows 7 user who I added to the OU for folder redirection. The GPO is set to redirect the Desktop, My Documents, and Favorites.
Favorites and My Documents redirected just fine. The folders were created on the server and the files copied to them and they no longer exist on the laptop.
The Desktop is another story. A folder was created in the server share and the desktop files copied to it. But on his laptop the Desktop folder still exists. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work right but to no avail. If I create a test folder or document on his laptop desktop it does not appear in the server folder....until he logs off and back in. Then any changes are copied to the server.
I even looked in the registry and found the location where it shows the folders are pointed to. Favorites and Documents (actually Personal in the registry) are pointed to the UNC path on the server. Desktop is still pointed to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop. I tried changing that one entry but that didn't help.
Anyone ever see this or know what to do? I have spent hours trying to get this to work. I've done several folder redirections before and never ran into anything like this.
Any help would be appreciated.
