Users Folders on Server renamed to Documents???

[JATSO]

Hi All,

 

Wonder if anyone can explain this and if possible how to fix.

 

Every now and again when I look at users home directory folder on the server some of the folders have been renamed Documents instead of the users .

 

Up until now I have just looked at the properties of the each users folder and reset the name and changed the icon back to the default yellow icon.

 

Can anyone point in the right direction for fixing the issue.

 

Image is attached of my users folders. Names hidden of course.

 

 

Any help would be welcomed.

 

Thanks:)

Hunt down and delete desktop.ini. Better, use FSRM to delete all instances of that file.

or change the explorer view to include filename rather than name

Is that desktop.ini, anywhere on the server or within each users home folder? would need to look up FSRM first never used it before.

 

Thanks

Within each user's folder.

its in every folder thats renamed documents so if your users are

 

d:\users\staff\fred

d:\users\staff\freda

d:\users\staff\john

....

 

there will be a desktop.ini file in each one

 

d:\users\staff\fred\desktop.ini

d:\users\staff\freda\desktop.ini

d:\users\staff\john\desktop.ini

....

in AD check and make sure that the home drive path is set correctly. are you using folder redirection ?

You can use powershell to delete the desktop.ini

 

get-childitem D:\Users -filter desktop.ini -force -recurse | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname -force -whatif}

 

Replace D:\Users with the path to your users. -Whatif allows you to test the script without actually deleting anything and shows you what would have happened if allowed to run correctly. Once your happy with it, change -Whatif to -Verbose that way you can see files as they being deleted.
