I have a GPO for folder redirection that redirects the desktop and the My Documents Folder.  I have a special adm template that redirects the Favorites to the "redirected" My Documents folder.  This is all in the same GPO.

 

I have set a certain group of people to not get the policy, by setting a "Deny" Apply Group Policy setting. 

 

What has happened is that the Policy has been denied, HOWEVER the custom adm part of the policy about the Favorites was still applied...

 

Why is that?  I must be missing something about how custom template files are applied and policies, etc.

 

Thanks

 

Another weird thing that I noticed and this may be a separate post, but on some folders under the main share, where I have set exclusive use of the folders to the users, I am able to access the My Documents folder (where the favorites are being redirected), and other user's My documents folders i can not access, which is what i would expect.

 

It appears that the users where the Favorites adm template was applied first, those are the people whose My Documents folders i can access.  If the My Documents and Desktop Redirections happened first, I can not access those folders.

 

Very strange

 

And just to reiterate, I understand about adm template files being preferences and not changing when policy is removed.  This has to do with “part” of a GPO not being denied, when the entire GPO is set to deny??
