Folder Redirection

[Guest]

Good day,

This actually corresponds to Windows 2003 Group Policy.

Running a domain controller here.

I have configured folder redirection for Desktop, Application Data and My
Documents to a folder on the server called 'FRedirect'.

On each Log on and off the clients make automatic synchronization with that
folder, etc...

Later on, i disabled that group policy and configured a new one, redirecting
only Application Data and Desktop to another folder on the server called
'Redirect'.

My problem is, at each log on, all clients are still attempting to
synchronize with FRedirect which fails because i deleted the folder (while
synchronizing with Redirect works out just fine).

Does anyone know how to stop this synchronization?

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

There must have been some files in the Offline Cache on the local machines
that had not synch'd. I have run into this a lot when I changed shares.

The only solution I found was to login to each machine experiencing this
problem and initialize/delete the offline file cache. More details how to do
it here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230738

(ignore the "why" and just do the "how")

Cheers,

Glad to help. It also drove me nuts for a long time until I figured it out. I
used to delete the files manually from the offline cache- took forever.
