RE: [ActiveDir] Folder Redirection Errors

[Bruce Clingaman]

I had a problem with redirecting My Docs. The user was not the owner of the folder. Deleting the folder and allowing the folder to be created at login corrected it for me. For XP clients at least, there is a Group Policy to disable the folder ownership requirement.

We found two solutions: 1. If you set the redirection to the networkshare manually on the client it works and after doing that one time the policy will also work perfect. But this is not acceptable in a large environment. So one customer sets the path for redirection manually by script (it's just one registry entry) and then it works fine and the user cannot change it in future because now the policy works as it should do. 2. If you add the User as Owner on NTFS level to the share it will work also... But I think this is mentioned in the KB you refer to   Volker   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 4:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Folder Redirection Errors Error 1: The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection was passed flags (0) and returned a failure status code of (1307).   For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.   Error 2: Failed to perform redirection of folder Application Data.
