Re: Question on folder redirection

That's a design choice that's made, and there isn't a right answer.

The more options you put into a wizard, the more complicated it becomes.
Knowing what the default limits are helps. But there isn't going to be a
default that suits everyone, so having the ability to configure certain
things outside the wizards is an option. Which things, and where to access
the configuration - well - that's a product knowledge thing.

No other single product that MS offers touches so many technologies. A good
SBS adminstrator will have skills in many technologies, not the least of
which is the 'SBS' skill - knowing what can be done or not done without
breaking the integration.

Hi,
I would add that a great job has been done with making SBS easily useable,
but things like disk and email quotas should show up in the wizard when
adding a user I would think ?

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for the reply, I was looking about the server settings this
morning and although I had removed disk quota limits on the volumes, the
user in question still had them applied. I have now removed these and the
user has now replicated 11gb of data to the server!!..

Still missing about a gig of data, however I'll investigate this first as
there may be well some other issue involved.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I am not very clear known about what problems you
encountered. Could you describe more detail about your situation?

Also can I confirm with you that you have configured folder redirection
for users' documents, however the user's folders' size has exceed the
disk quotas for the user? Now, what is the issue?
For your scenario, there will be error happened during synchronizing
between the server and the user's documents files. You can go to SBS
server box to check how much the user used the disk volume. And you can
modify the disk quotas to meet the user needs. You can refer to the
following steps:

1. Click My Computer icon and choose one disk label that the user folder
redirection locations.

2. Right click it to open Properties page, under Quota tab, click Quota
Entries button to open Quota Entries page, you can check how much the
user used hard disk in the disk.

3. You can double click the user entry to modify the disk quotas.
If you don't like the user account use such big volume in the disk, you
can choose not redirect some files to the server.

Folder Redirection is a User group policy. This means that a user for
whom you configure folder redirection must have a group policy linked to
some folder structure where their user object is subordinate, such as a
site, domain, or organizational unit.

When we enabled some folders' Folder Redirection, the folders content in
client computer will be saved in one server box. And when we click the
folder on workstations, we will be redirected to server box and open the
files located the server box.
For example, we enabled My Documents Redirection, The My Documents item
on the desktop or Start -> My Documents just is a link to the server
shard folder location and there is not factual content in the folder.
Additionally, if we open My Computer -> Documents and Settings -> domain
user profile folder, we will not see My Documents folder for we enabled
My Documents redirection.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be of assistance to you and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Hi All,

I have a laptop that joined the domain today however the users' files
in my docs are well over 1gb and disk quotas were on. I didn't know
this at the time and they saw no errors anyway. I have since fixed this
issue.
The local account was Fred A and they are now Fred. We did choose to
migrate Fred A during the connectcomputer process.
Q1 - the users documents on the laptop are still well over 1G, on the
server they aren't despite logging off and on the laptop etc.
Q2 - When logging on local to the account only the original user Fred A
works, will this still sync document changes etc when the user logs
onto the domain again.
I know I am probably missing something really basic here so apologies
and thanks.
simon
