Recently, we began decommissioning our old file servers that were running Server 2003 R2. One of the last servers to go, was a file server that hosted the home drives for all of our users. We have been using group policy to do Folder Redirection
so that the user's home drive would seamlessly become their "Documents" folder in Explorer, thus saving them having to browse to the network drive. Since moving the data to the new server, the Documents folder, and the other miscellaneous folders
in the users profile (Music, Pictures, etc...) have become broken. Basically the icon looks like a white sheet of paper, instead of the familiar Documents icon. I've attached a screenshot of UC in the policy, as well as, screenshots of what the
user sees when they open Explorer, and also, the properties of the Documents link in the Start Menu. The only recommendations I've found so far is to delete the user profiles, but with a large volume of users, this isn't the best option. Other
options have including registry modifications, but also not an easy task. Has anyone else seen this? Or better, does anyone know how to fix this?
More Information:
- We have not seen this issue on Windows 7, but that isn't to say that the issue doesn't exist on Win 7.
- All users map their home drives to a letter as well, and are able to access their data that way.


Thanks! Nate
