folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why?

We have server 2003 and all xp sp2, roaming profiles and user home
directories. Inside our main gpo for all users i have configured folder
redirection for my documents using the setting "redirect to user's home
directory". This works great since the "u:" drive on all profiles is now the
same as the my documents location and therefore all my doc links (on desktop
and in apps) goes to the same place. We have had this working for over a year
now, last week one of the user's my documents folder started not redirecting.
When you right click my documents on the desktop it says "c:\documents and
settings\username\my docs" instead of the UNC path like everyone elses. The
"u:" drive or home directory is still being mapped and is available, all
files are there and work normally. No one else has reported this problem.
HELP!!!

Re: folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why?

Hello,

is it a laptop ?
Do you have offline folders enabled ?
any eventlog error on the station ?
Sure no one changed the GPO ?
IS he still having the gpo ? gpresult /z shows it ?

Check the workstation's event logs, and run an rsop.msc to check for errors.
Oh, and before anything, do a gpupdate /force.

Re: folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why

Done gpupdate /force
gpresult /z shows the policy is being set
right click on my docs shows local c:\docs and settings folder as target
with no option to redirect
i disjoined and readded this pc to the domain with no luck
installed uhcp
deleted profile locally, logged back in as user (roaming profiles)
i do have event id 1517/1524 before i installed uhcp...

none of the above has solved the issue, any ideas.
i will run rsop.msc to see what it returns, should be the same as gpresult
/z though...

Re: folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why

just did rsop.msc and when it comes up the "user configuration" bottom
portion of the gpo has a red x on it, also a window pops up when you access
the user portion of the gpo and says there was a bad username/password on
accessing the .adm files (admin template).

however as stated earlier gpresult /z shows the setting as correctly set...
shouldn't disjoining and readding to the domain have fixed this issue? seems
like a trust issue between this workstation and the domain now... how to fix?

In rsop.msc - click on <username on computername>onthe left
Click on User configuration on the right
Click Properties
Click Error Information

That should show you more info.

What's the exact text of the message?

Not necessarily - what do you see in the event logs?

The error information from inside "user configuration" properties is the
following:
Monday, September 17, 2007 8:24:49 AM

Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components
processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other
components is not available.

I am also getting event id#1030&1058 daily.
1030-Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message
that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy engine.
1058-Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={3DA8E0C3-21DF-42B4-B14F-DA725B44D2FD},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=kciinc,DC=net.
The file must be present at the location
<\\kciinc.net\SysVol\kciinc.net\Policies\{3DA8E0C3-21DF-42B4-B14F-DA725B44D2FD}\gpt.ini>.
(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.

I dont understand the bad username/password, the user logs in fine.
Everything works great except this folder redirection. Exchange, sharepoint,
log/logout, etc.

Thanks for the help

I suggest you try posting in microsoft.public.windows.group_policy if you
want more expert help with this. Frankly, if this user can log into another
workstation with no problems, I'd just wipe and rebuild this box (ideally,
you've got images you can use) rather than wasting a lot more time on it.

Re: folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why

Re: folder redirection for 1 out of 70 users is not working... why

Actually if i log onto another PC with this user it still is happening
(another user logged onto his pc doesnt have this problem), also i logged
this user out and renamed his profile folder locally and on the profiles
share (roaming prof) and then logged him back in to his PC to give him a new
profile. On the new/blank profile with the same user account i still get the
errors inside rsop.msc... weird. What do i have to do to resolve this? It
seems like its not machine specific, but shouldnt a new profile for the same
user account fix it in that case?

Thanks for the help.
