Windows Server Standard 2008 R2
Windows 7 Pro SP1 and Windows 8.1
Last week, it seems that Folder Redirection is no longer fully working. I can see the GPO being applied to the users, but only the Desktop piece. The "Favorites" section is not.
When I go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", I see that the "Favorites" REG_EXPAND_SZ isn't there at all. When I manually add it, and run GPUPDATE /FORCE, it gets deleted. Weird, right?
The Event Viewer shows the following:
"Failed to apply policy and redirect folder 'Favorites' to '\\<fileserver>\users\<username>\favorites' Redirection options=0x1211. The following error occurred: 'Can't create folder '\\<fileserver>\users\<username>\favorites'. Error details: 'This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."
Also, the sharing/folder (NTFS) permissions haven't changed (as far as I know). The user is able to browse to the UNC path just fine, and create/modify files and folders.
So, I'm kind of scratching my head over here...
