Don't know whether that would work as intended if the users have roaming profiles defined, but definitely worth a try as it may simplify the implementation somewhat.

If so, and if you have no other servers that users will ever need to have folder redirection work on, you can consider adding a WMI filter to the GP that tells it to apply to workstation devices (i.e. not servers). I use the WMI filter below for a policy that applies to workstations only: SELECT ProductType FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE ProductType = '1' http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394239%28v=vs.85%29.aspx -Aakash Shah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 8:08 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Re: Win 2012R@ RDS, Group Policy and folder redirection errors Sorry. Forgot to mention: The folder redirection setting is "Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location" and the Target folder location is "Create a folder for each user under the root path". And the Roto path is "\\FileServer\users<file:///\\FileServer\users>".

All well and good. Now we've started to use RDS (using RemoteApp only, no full desktop). And I am seeing Event ID 502 in the event logs of the session host. < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2493506 > Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Desktop" to "\\FileServer\users\example\Desktop<file:///\\FileServer\users\example\Desktop>". Redirection options=0x9000. The following error occurred: "Can't create folder "\\FileServer\users\example\Desktop<file:///\\FileServer\users\example\Desktop>"". Error details: "Access is denied. ". Now, the user "example" already has a redirected "Desktop" folder on "FileServer", so the above message makes perfect sense, I guess. But this means that the RDS server is creating profile directories for every user on it's local C: drive. What do I need to do to correct this? I guess that the server needs to have a profile structure of the user to create temp files, etc. But how do I tell the GPO not to try and redirect, if this is a virtual session? I'm assuming it has to do with those "Redirection options", but I haven't been able to find out what they mean, where I change them, and what I need to change them to ... Or is there some other to resolve this type of error on an RDS server?
