Spot-on.
Your windows guy just needs to implement a few AD registry tweaks (see
below etc) to get things working sweetly,
Well, that is not going to happen.
Eh -- maybe if I can persuade the boss. But I think if this is going to get
fixed, I am going to have to fix it myself. But that is probably fair
because I think I probably messed it up. I believe folder redirection was
working at one time under my predecessor. I believe I messed it up when I
built a new file server. I have a vague memory of choosing to not copy some
files in the root of the netlogon share over to the new server not knowing
what they were for. My predecessor left a lot of stuff just lying around. I
mean, who doesn't? So I thought they were extraneous and when the domain
seemed to work find for a few months, I figured it was okay to reformat the
hard drive on the old server.
We are just now making the switch from XP to Win7. I understand that XP and
Win7 profiles are not compatible. If we have to have our Windows users (and
there aren't that many) create new profiles, maybe I can make sure they get
created with full folder redirection implemented. Even if we have to
migrate the profiles (and I have no idea oif that is even possible) maybe we
can also add the appropriate registry keys.
I already know way more than I want to about Windows systems admin. Guess
I'll have to learn about setting registry keys and default user profiles,
etc.
