Hi,

We have folder redirection in place and it works fine with XP machine. We've
stuck a vista machine on the network and get the following error.



Folder Redirectionhide

An error has occurred while collecting data for Folder Redirection.

The following errors were encountered:

An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension.
Details: Unexpected folder name Music



I've tried the hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942220 and it says it
doesn't apply to this computer.

Servers are 2003 SP1.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

Paul
 
I'm not sure if this would be the problem, but are the user's network
folders shared out directly? Do users connect directly to their share, such
as \\Server\Paulo or do they they all connect to the same share and then
their own folder, such as \\Server\Home\Paulo? Even though XP (and I guess
Vista also) lets you map a drive to a folder under a share, ie,
\\Server\Home\Paulo, I've had problems where the mapping changes to
\\Server\Home.

Doesn't seem to be that, it's the my documents folder being redirected to
\\server\user\my_documents by group policy.

mappings seem ok
 
Also had a look at the GP settings on the vista machine and none of them are
configured and at the same time I created a new OU and created a user within
that and copied another users 'My Docs' onto the Server, then created a GPO
to redirect to this location. Once this was set up I tried to load it on the
vista machine and it didn't work

Does 2003 sp2 fix any vista group policy issues?

Thanks
