Re: Server 2008 Folder Redirection



Hello Andy,

Netdiag you can use from 2003, just extract it from the support.cab and copy it to c:windows\system32

Thanks for all your help so far Meinolf. I have disabled IPv6 but i'm
still having the access denied problem if I use the NetBIOS name of
the server. I have temporarily configured Group Policy to redirect
those folders using IP address (which is working fine), but would like
to get this sorted.

Below is the output from dcdiag. netdiag isn't a recognized command on
my 2008 box..

Hello Andy,

Ofcourse you can use it, but the problems maybe start if you use more
then one DNS server and you forget that you have set the loopback ip.
It is not wrong but the better solution is always to use the real ip
address.

I have always been told to use 127.0.0.1 as the primary DNS server
if the server itself is a DNS server as it will then look at itself
for DNS resolution as opposed to hitting the DNS service.

Hello Andy,

If you not use IPv6 uncheck it. Also configure the real ipaddress
from the
DNS server and do not use the loopback address 127.0.0.1 And if you
have
unused network adapters just disable them.
Did you run dcdiag and netdiag on the server to check for errors?

Hello,

I have configured folder redirection on my server for Documents,
Downloads, Videos, Music and Pictures within an OU which
contains all the users.

However, when logging on to client machines (all running Vista)
none of these folders get redirected. When trying to manually
change the location of these folders to a shared directory on
the server (\\Server\Users\%Username%\Documents) I get an access
denied error message, even though the users have full control to
their directory.

Now, the interesting part is that if I manually change the
location using the IP address of the server
(\\10.0.0.12\Users\%Username%\Documents) it works fine, which
pretty much means it's not a security issue.

I can ping the server by its name, browse the shared folders by
its name, rdp to it by its name, so it's also not a name
resolution issue.

I have tried disabling the firewall on the server but that makes
no difference.

Any suggestions?

Thanks/...
