Windows 10: Folder Redirection

Dear Support


I applied Folder Redirection and it works fine


But when the user delete the file from the client machine, it also deleted from the server


I need to keep all the delete file on the server even if the user deleted from the client machine


Waiting for your reply

Folder Redirection Causes Explorer.exe to become Unresponsive

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand how difficult it can be when the File Explorer freezes while redirecting the folder. Thank you for the detail information and the troubleshooting steps provided in the post.

Please check the below article if helpful for the file explorer freeze issue.

Application & System Crashes with Folder Redirection

Folder Redirection - explorer.exe and iexplore.exe crashing

Disclaimer: The ‘Reset Internet Explorer Settings’ feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The ‘Reset Internet Explorer
Settings’ feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.

Disclaimer: A ‘clean boot’ starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however, that functionality will return when you
reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.



However, we would suggest you to check with our Technet forum team because this issue occurs with a good number of end users who are connected to a domain network and the file server have Windows server 2016. I would suggest you
to post your query in TechNet forums,
where we have the engineers with the expertise to provide solutions for issues related to server and domain network

Windows 10 Folder Redirection

Hi,

We are planning to Implement Folder Redirection for all the AD Users. Currently all the AD User are having Home Folder mapped to their AD Profiles redirected to a File Server.

My question is, if we create a Folder Redirection policy for Documents what will happen to existing Home Folder and will the Home Folder data will be redirected to Folder Redirection or Only User Profile Documents will be redirected.

Bit confused. Please help!!!

 

Paths to profile folders subject to folder redirection

Sayan, thanks for your reply, but what you state is only true if the profile folders Pictures, Documents, etc, have not been redirected out of the profile folder.

In a user profile with folder redirection of these folders, the %USERPROFILE% folder does NOT contain folders / junctions for the redirected folders on a Win10 system. (Win7 systems DO have junctions in the %USERPROFILE% folder for these redirected folders.)
