Hi All,
Bit of a strange one...
Like a lot of places, we have a mix of static workstations and roaming laptops. For a long while, we have had simple desktop redirection in place for workstations, and were redirecting AppData, Desktop, My Docs, My Pictures, My Vids, etc for the laptops, as per best practices for roaming profiles. For laptop users, their desktops were synced locally, and were always available offline.
User's desktops are usually redirected to:
\\server1\redirect$\%username%\desktop
Recently, we have taken the decision to migrate all services away from server1, in readiness for its decommissioning... So all I did was set up the new redirect folder here:
\\server2\redirect$
I followed the guide on setting permissions here:
And I simply edited the existing Folder Redirection GPO from:
\\server1\redirect$
to
\\server2\redirect$
And checked a bunch of users, and I saw in their event logs that Folder Redirection was successful.
All was well up until this point, until laptop users started complaining when they logged on while disconnected from the network. They get the "Windows could not find the path "\\server2\redirect$\%username%\desktop" and then they are logged on with a temporary profile.
Anyone got any idea why their desktop isn't syncing to a local copy anymore, when all I did was change the path which their desktop redirects to?
Thanks in advance!
Dave
