I am currently testing GPO redirection for "My Document" folder.
I am not able to synchronize towards the network drive if the profile already exist on the workstation.
The test are done on a Windows 7 machine and the DC is running 2008 r2 (Forest 2008)
These are the steps I executed:
- If I delete the local profile on the workstation and reconnect (The profile creation on the network gets created and synchronization works perfectly) (This is not a solution because all my current users are using local profiles)
- I activated the GPO to force synchronization at log on and log off
The GPO is configure as follows:
Basic: Redirect everyones folder to the same location
Create a folder for each user under the following path: \\<SERVERNAME>\<SHARENAME>\Username
I unchecked the options:
- Grant the user exclusive rights to documents
- Also apply redirection Policy to Win2000 ....
Do I need to enable anything else?
