  1. Remove Folder Redirection GPO and have it Remove all data from the local PC


    We are planning on switching from having a Folder Redirection based setup to going to OneDrive. I am having difficulties where I remove the Folder Redirection GPO the computers take hours and hours to sign in. I have actually never had it successfully sign Has anyone else exprienced this?Secondly, My goal is that if it were to actually login and not take hours and hours. Is it possible to have the Desktop and Documents be blank so its just like you signed into the computer for the first time. So that then we can have everyone sign into their OneDrive Sync and all their stuff re-appears as we

  2. Remove Microsoft Account and Local Data from "gift" PC

    Hello,

    Hope this is a relatively simple ask.

    I set up a WIN 11 PC for my parents with two local administrator accounts. To do so, I used my Microsoft Account for the initial Windows 11 configuration and set up. I will be giving them the desktop and wish to delete my account and data from the PC.

    I changed the name and account type of my Microsoft Account to local/administrator but see some local folders and references to my Microsoft cloud data - which I want to delete locally (from this PC not anywhere else).

    What are the steps to remove my Microsoft Account and data from this PC as I give them the new computer? Is it more than deleting the folder in the C:\Users for my local account?

    Thank you

    Unable to get Server 2019 GPO Redirected Folders to Work on Windows 7

    I have tried everything i could find online but i am stuck.

    The Security Filtering has Users and Computers.

    The Computer and the user are part of the groups.

    I have only the Redirected Folder GPO Enforced.

    In "GPORESULT /R " in Win 7 everything is ok, and all policies are applied.

    In "gpresult /Scope User /v" the redirected folder is "N/D"

    In the Same Windows 7 Client with the same GPO:

    - I have one user with part of the redirected folders working but not all.

    - I have one user with no redirected folders (all local)

    - I Have one user only with 1 redirected folder

    Can anyone help. Please. I don't know what else to do.

  4. Remove Folder Redirection GPO and have it Remove all data from the local PC

    What would happen if you remove a GPO containing the "allow log on locally" setting

    Suppose you have a GPO that sets the "allow log on locally" setting.

    What would happen if you removed this GPO from a device?

    Would the PC end up with nothing in the "allow log on locally" setting, or would it just revert back to default values?
