Folder Redirection

It is useful when we have implemented mandatory profile for users as a result they cannot save anything on the desktop, unknowingly if they save, that saved desktop contents should be saved in another location we call it as folder redirection. (Users do not lose their data)
Implementing folder redirection:
On DC
Create a roaming profile for a user
And convert it into mandatory
Note: create a new OU at first and create a user in that and make that user profile as mandatory.

On DC
Open ADUC
Right click on OU we’ve created
Group policy
New > GPO name> edit
User configuration
Windows settings
Folder redirection
On desktop right click
Properties
Select the settings as basic
Browse share folder from n/w places
Ok.
Create a folder
Share it
Every one full access

Verification

On member server
Login as user we’ve created in OU
Save something on the desktop
Ex: save some folders > properties
We should notice the location should be UNC path (Universal Naming Convention)
Logoff &login
