Hello we moved accross our data from 2008 to server 2019. we also moved from windows 7 to windows 10 and some on thin clients. All our childrens and documents have the name of documents instead of the username

Its causing a lot of frustration with staff

If you have redirected documents to the root of this folder, they will have had a desktop.ini written to the root of the folder, which changes its appearance to "documents". The folder name is still the same, just looks like documents. I'm not sure why this would have happened just by changing from 7 to 10, as 7 did the same. May be that your folder redirection is slightly different from before. Check that you're redirecting into a folder within those named folders, and not to their root.

We got round this by displaying "Filename" as a column. If you right-click on the column headers and then tick the box next to Filename, is should appear as normal.

 

A bit of a pain, but we manage with it.
