I have turned on Folder Redirection on one of my customers' servers, and now, when creating a new file in the redirected Documents folder I get an error saying the path doesn't exist. Yet it does exist. Further more, if I open Windows Explorer
and go to that folder, then right-click, choose create new Word Document, for example, I get a dialog box with the following message:
"An expected error is keeping you from creating the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can sue the error code to search for help with this problem. Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified".
Which is weird, because I'm in the folder I'm trying to create the file.
Another application, Olympus Transcription software, tells me I don't have permission to the folder. Yet, I do have full access permissions to the folder, and when I look at the Effective Permissions, it tells me I have "Full Access".
I have:
- Tried disabling the anti-virus;
- removed the antivirus;
- created a new share for the redirected folders, including having tried "Everyone", "Domain Users", "Users" etc as having not just "read", but "Write" and "Full Access" permissions at the share level (as per knowledge base articles, plus just trying what seemed logical);
- removed, reinstated and reset all permissions on the redirected folders - on the folders themsevles (as per knowledge base articles, plus just trying what seemed logical);
- Created a brand-new redirected folders group policy object (as per knowledge base articles).
The problem appears to happen for most, if not all users, and for all redirected folders, that is, also for the Desktop for example, as well as Documents.
There is also a related Event Log entry, but doesn't tell me any more than I already know:
Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Desktop" to "\\sbs\FolderRedirections\hbourke\Desktop".
Redirection options=0x9231.
The following error occurred: "Failed to redirect because the destination directory "\\sbs\ FolderRedirections\hbourke\Desktop" is offline".
Error details: "The network path was not found.
".
I'm almost at my wits end... Help!! Please!!
Thanks in advance!
