Re: Redirect problems to remote client



Hi Paul,
 
Thanks for your kind update.
 
1.  I have checked the gpNEW.TXT file, and found the Small Business Server 
Folder Redirection properly be applied to this remote client, you can find 
it at Resultant Set Of Policies for User part in the file.
 
2.  Please also make sure these TCP ports 139/445 are allowed between the 
remote network and the local SBS Lan.
 
3.  Make sure the remote client has proper permission for 
\\outer\users\Brian folder on the SBS Server.
 
4.  If the issue persists, please kindly refer to my previous reply to 
gather more detailed information (Event logs, userenv log) for further 
analysis.

I appreciate your time and cooperation. Please do not hesitate to let me 
know if you have any further concerns, I am looking forward to hearing from 
you.
 
Have a nice day!
