If these settings needed to be changed, you’ll need to allow enough time for users to get the changes before removing the Folder Redirection completely. You’ll want to set the Policy Removal option to “Redirect the folder back to the local user profile location when policy is removed.” You’ll also want to ensure that “Move the contents of to the new location” option is also checked so that the files get moved back to the user’s computer when you change the policy. The good news is that new logins by users won’t have folders redirected since the policy is gone, but any computers that the user has logged in to will keep their Folder Redirection. When a Folder Redirection is created, the move option is checked by default and the Policy Removal is set to, “Leave the folder in the new location when the policy is removed.” If bells and whistles aren’t going off in your head, they should be! If you were to remove the policy right now, Folder Redirection would stay how it is currently configured with the folder(s) redirected… which is probably not what you want to happen.
Make note of whether “Move the contents of Documents to the new location” is checked and the “Policy Removal” behavior. Right-click on one of the redirected folders, choose Properties, and go to the Settings tab. You’ve been tasked with taking folders that are currently redirected to a file server and directing them back to the end user’s local storage.īefore you start making changes, you’ll want to go to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection. Redirect to the local userprofile location | Move the contents of Documents to the new location Scenario 2: Redirecting back to users’ local storage ^ In the Properties for each folder, set the Target Setting to “Basic” and the Target folder location to “Redirect to the local userprofile location.” On the Settings tab, make sure you uncheck “Move the contents of to the new location” so that the redirected files don’t end up on the server. Right-click on one of the folders that will shouldn’t be redirected and choose Properties. In the Group Policy Management Console, go to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection. If for some reason deleting the local profiles on the server isn’t an option (or there are just too many servers to do it), you’ll need to add a new Folder Redirection to the same GPO that has your Loopback setting.
