Hi all
I have a user that "redirected his desktop" some time ago on his pc , so today
when we put a new NAS in his desktop won't load.
He had his desktop folder located in his home share on the old server
\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop
because home shares didnt take up much space on the server we left the home
shares but we renamed the server (server01 to server02), and gave the new NAS
the old server name (server01) due to many apps/links/coding that is used using
the original server name.
So now when he logs on, his desktop hangs and errors out "could not locate
\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop " which makes sense because the path
"\\server01\users\user_name\home\desktop" doesn't exist anymore and the real
location is now
"\\server02\users\user_name\home\desktop"
I went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders
changed the desktop folder to value to the new servername , but it still gives
that error.
I ran gpresult just to make sure it wasnt coming from domain GPO's and also
opened up gpedit locally
and there are no settings configured.
I'm pretty stumped on this one
