Start Menu and Desktop redirection failing

[zag]

Every so often our desktop and start menus do not redirect.

 

Any ideas what's going on or how to troubleshoot it?

 

We are using GPO desktop redirection to a shared central folder. The kids can logon to another computer and it will work perfectly and I'm a bit lost whats going on.

 

The GPO appears to have applied fine as all the security settings are in place!

And here is the error from the event log

Looks like a broken windows update caused this.

 

Running this reg file

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{2112AB0A-C86A-4ffe-A368-0DE96E47012E}]

at Login like this

 

regedit /s "\\Domaincontroller\scripts$\fix_folder_redirection.reg"

 

And removing the locally cached profile from users and the registry seems to fix it.

 

Microsoft I hate you sometimes!!
