Re: Enabling the administrator to have access to redirected folders

Thanks for the research Bob.
That seems to indicate that the matching info is persisted in the
local copy of the profile is less than fully thought out ways that
cannot cope with the changes.

I found the fix to this problem and will also enter as a feedback to
Article
ID: 288991.

I do not understand what causes this "bug", but here is the fix.

After disabling redirected folders and sending the folders back to the
user
profile, it is IMPERATIVE that the local profile also be deleted (via
System
Properties\Advanced\User Profiles). [Assuming of course a Roaming User
Profile exists as is in my case].

I found this technique to work 4 out of 4 times.

"Enabling the administrator to have access to redirected folders"

The directions work just fine for users that have never had their folders
redirected, but the process generally fails for users that have had their
folders previously redirected.

For existing redirected folders, I change the GPO to send the folders
back
to the users local profile (and Remote User Profile). I then take
ownership
(as an Administrator) of the old redirected folder and delete it at the
%username% folder.
I then change the users GPO back to folder redirection and the folders do
move as I would expect. The problem however still remains in that I as
an
Administrator still can't access the redirected folders.

On a rare occasion, this process does work for prior redirected folders
but
I still have several users that it does not work on.

When it does work, it usually requires a few days between sending the
folders back to the local and then redirecting them back to the
redirected
folder.

I've tried gpudate on the server and workstation and even shut everything
down several times, but I still have the same problem.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I have Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard & XP Pro clients.
