Folder Redirection Admin Cant Access Folders

[CommodoreS]

So inside User Config > Policies > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection when setting up the folder redirection it seems to default select the settings it defaults the setting Grant the user exclusive rights to Contacts or to Videos in that section when setting them up for the first time. This then seems to lock those folders out from administrator access so if redirecting the folders to my documents to the users my documents on the server and when you try and access them a message is displayed saying you dont currently have permission to access this folder on the server as an administrator.

 

Even after removing the grant the user exclusive rights option and users logging on again the permissions are still set so administrators cannot access the folders. The problem is it has done this for ajn awful lot of users before I realized and now wondering if there is a quick and easy way to sort this rather than going in to these folders for every user to give the folders administrative access rights.

 

I am also having a problem with users offline files (the whole of the users my documents should be syncronising in offline files) coming up with an error saying it cannot syncronise and am wonder if it is somehow related to this.

Have a look at icacls. Should be possible to script and automate this, even for hundreds/thousands of users.
