Major Folder Redirection Issues

[circulent]

We are using folder redirection. For some reason we have a few end users
which cannot sync correctly. This is the error we get:

Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "RoamingAppData" to
"\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data". Redirection options=80009211.
The following error occurred: "Failed to redirect because the destinaiton
directory "\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data" is offline". Error
details: "The network path was not found.

What's odd is that we can access SQL just fine, and the partition called
PROFILES is properly shared as PROFILES$.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be broken?

Thanks

Possibly, the offline files (CSC or Client Side Caching) cache and database
may be corrupted. You may have to reinitialize the cache. One one machine
experiencing this problem, please create the following registry entry (reboot
the machine after making the change):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
Key Name: FormatDatabase
Key Type: DWORD
Key Value: 1

However, be wary that all cache files are deleted and unsynchronized data is
lost. Make a backup copy before doing the steps described in the KB.

Hi Salvador,

I tried your suggestion, and it did not work. I ended giving up, and
removing the GPO altogether. Now the client machines are still looking for
the previous location for their profiles (\\sql1\profiles$). Is there a way
to manually make them stop looking? I even tried gpupdate /fordce but that
had no effect.

let me know.

Thanks
