Environment is 2003 functional level domain, I'm creating the policy on a Server 2008 standard with an up to date GPMC. I've unchecked "grant user exclusive access"
When I create a folder redirection policy, all of the shell folders work just fine except for Documents and Pictures. Here's a list of the troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far and the result:
- Check the event logs for group policy and/or folder redirection errors or warnings on workstation: All group policy and folder redirection events indicate success. All (other than documents and pictures) folders are redirected and log a success event, group policy processing also logs a success event. There are no failure messages for the Documents or Pictures folders
- Permissions - User has appropriate permissions to parent folder. Folder redirection creates subfolders successfully, just not for the two aforementioned folders in question
- Use rsop.msc and gpresult to determine whether there is a problem with the policy itself - Both of these tools show a successful redirection for all of the folders except the offending ones. Documents and Pictures just do not show up
- Recreate the policy to eliminate corruption as a possibility - Did that, same behaviour
- Try the same policy with a different user - Same behavior
- Try the same policy with a different computer - Same behavior
- Try the same policy with a different operating system (Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008) - same behavior
- Try using all of the different types of redirection possible (basic, advanced, redirect to home folder, etc) - same behavior
- New: Use the Windows 7/2008 R2 remote administration tools to create a new policy - same behaviour
Here are the events that are logged:
