I had a similar issue with folder redirection under Windows 7. The same policies worked fine for XP.
The solution was to set the permissions on the server according to http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/06/30/automatic-creation-of-user-folders-for-home-roaming-profile-and-redirected-folders.aspx Hope it helps, James. From: Wilhelm, Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 11 September 2010 4:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 Folder Redirection Issues I am using Windows 2008 R2 for my AD server, in which I have a GPO setup to redirect the My Documents folder to the users home folder. I have set the folder redirection for my documents (User Config.->Windows Settings->Folder Redirection->Documents->Target folder location) to both “Redirect to the user’s home directory” and “Redirect to the following location”. Whenever I select “Redirect to the user’s home directory”, it redirects the home folder to %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%, which it doesn’t need %HOMEPATH appended to it. If I set it to “Redirect to the user’s home directory”, which would be “//server/folder/%username%/” (and I have also entered it without the trailing /) or “H:/” which is their home drive. Then, I apply it, and then click ok. When I go back into it, it’s changed to “Create a folder for each user under the root path”. I then get the following error on the client machines: Description: Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "\\SERVER\folder\stafftest\<file:///\\SERVER\folder\stafftest\>". Redirection options=0x80001211. The following error occurred: "Can not create folder "\\SERVER\folder\stafftest<file:///\\SERVER\folder\stafftest>"". Error details: "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object. ". Yes, the folder exists. Yes, the user does have permission to it. Not sure why it’s trying to create a new folder though. I have checked through the GPO’s and there are no policies above that might be affecting this, other than the default domain policy, although it has no folder redirection settings. This is a very inconsistent issue as I’ve seen it affect network admin accounts, but not some regular user accounts, and then the same account will be affected on one computer, but not another. Very frustrating. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas, suggestions?
