Folder redirection

[Michael-from-Virgo]

First of all - I am new here but have been using solutions posted here many times. Thanks for that!

Second thing - I have rather strange problem with a folder redirection.

In the school we have two types of computers, both Dells, one type is few years older than the other.

On both types we have Windows 7 pro installed. The installation is typical - Windows, MS Office, Adobe CS6 and some other educational software.

The only real difference is the fact that on the old computers we have 32bit version of Windows and and on the new the 64bit version.

 

I noticed the other day (and still couldn't to find the solution) that the folder redirection is not working on the 32bit computers (other settings from group policy are applied fine).

I applied a folder redirection to a test group of users. When the user from that group log on to the 64bit computer everything works and all folders are where they supposed to be (\\network_share\username$\), but when the same user log on the old computer (both computers are members of the same domain) folder redirection doesn't work and user's folders are located on local computer (C:\users\username\).

I have to admit I am not an expert in group policy, so please help. I'll be grateful for any idea how to sort that out.

 

Regards.

From command prompt ---> rsop.msc

 

Right click User configuration, Properties and select error information.

 

This will tell you which policies are being applied and their error status.

 

You can browse the applied GPOs and check the settings.

 

 

 

EDIT: above you've put the path as USERNAME$. Surely this should be %USERNAME%
