Gpupdate Not Updating Folder Redirection Windows
Ok did a move about two weeks ago from an old Small biz server 2003 to server 2008 R2 we had a file redriect going for the mydocs on the old SBS 03 server. Moved all the files to the new R2 server and told the GP that the new home folder was on the new R2 server. Olny about half of the client computer did the switch the other half are still looking for the old server to sync offline files with and it is really lagging down their boxes they can't do anything with out the computer looking for the old share folder. We have changed the GP to disable Offline files and have taken off the redriection of the mydocs folder. And still the computer will no update the GP even if i go into the computer and do the /gpupdate/force it says everything was updated but still doing the same stuff. I know its not a computer problem if i log on to the computer with my account everything is updated and works like it should but log in with any of the troubled users accounts and they still look for the old server don't see any scripts running on their AD profile or anything. I am very lost.
Oh all Cleints are running Vista Biz with all updates and service packs. I have never seen anything like this, anyone got some idea's. Might be a gpo problem. You say if you log into their pc everything works like it should. Have you tried having one of them log into your pc?
I have had Folder Redirection (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, and Favorites) working fine for years now in an environment with a 2008 file server (no DFS) and mixed Vista/Win7 clients. I recently moved the top-level share for the redirected folders to a different 2008 R2 server and simpyl changed the. Windows 2012 R2 Essentials. Only server in small LAN Warning 1085 Windows failed to apply the Folder Redirection. This may be caused by GPO not updating.

What was the result? Check the gpo & its placement.
Is it configured for user or computer configuration? Do you have multiple gpo with file redirect? Do you have multiple OUs? Are the users / computers in their right ou? Do a gpresult command in one of the client pc having problems to see if the gpo for file redirect is being applied. If all else fails save any important files from their pc & rename their user profile folder to something like userOLD. Then have them login again & see if it works.
If it does then restore the files you saved earlier. Ok fixed this problem just in case anyone else ever has it here was the fix I cam up with. 1st I have no idea why half the computers did this but the easy fix was to log in to the users computer as the domain admin.
Go to the users folder and remove the users folder that is having the trouble. Then go into Regedit and remove that user from the profilelist and restart the computer and log in as the user and there you go new GP's downloaded from the server and everything is fine. Just make sure to back up all user files and anything else they want cause it will all be deleted when you do this. Thanks for the help.
