RE: [ActiveDir] Folder Redirection Errors

[Seyboldt, Volker]

Hi Edwin,   we had a similar problem. We found two solutions: 1. If you set the redirection to the networkshare manually on the client it works and after doing that one time the policy will also work perfect. But this is not acceptable in a large environment. So one customer sets the path for redirection manually by script (it's just one registry entry) and then it works fine and the user cannot change it in future because now the policy works as it should do. 2. If you add the User as Owner on NTFS level to the share it will work also... But I think this is mentioned in the KB you refer to   Volker From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 4:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Folder Redirection Errors Error 1: The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection was passed flags (0) and returned a failure status code of (1307).   For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.   Error 2: Failed to perform redirection of folder Application Data. The new directories for the redirected folder could not be created. The folder is configured to be redirected to \\mydomainname.com\sharedfiles$\User Profiles, the final expanded path was \\ mydomainname.com \sharedfiles$\User Profiles. The following error occurred: This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.   For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.       I have a Win2K3 DC with Win2K Pro clients.  I have roaming profiles setup with the Application Data, Desktop and My Documents forwarded to a UNC path.   Every time a user logs in, they receive the above errors.  For Error 2 an error is generated for each forwarded folder.  I have read and applied KB #274443 but no changes in the Event Logs occurred.   As far as I can tell, I do not see any problems when saving data to the Roaming Profile or Forwarded folders so I am not sure why the error is being generated.   I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to correct these errors.   Thank you in advance for your replies.   Edwin
