Let Us Discover

What is Folder Redirection?

The folder redirection is the way to keep a profile folder to a network location or other
locations in the local computer. Typically, user profiles and settings are stored in the local
profile. By redirecting folders, you can access data regardless of which computers you are
logged in.

In addition to the immediate benefit of having that data on a file server that is much
easier to keep backed up, the user also gets the benefit of being able to go to multiple
computers in your organization and still have access to their data. Using the default Windows
settings and the default share settings on your file server, these redirections will be even made
available offline automatically for your users.

Folder Redirection Applies to: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2019, Windows
Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 r2, Windows Server 2008 r2,
Windows Server (Semi-annual Channel)

Requirements for deploying Folder Redirection:

Administration requirements

 To administer folder redirection, you must be signed in as a member of the Domain

Administrators security group, the Enterprise Administrators security group, or the
Group Policy Creator Owners security group.
 A computer must be available and has Group Policy Management and Active Directory
Administration Center installed.

File server requirements

The file server is the computer that hosts the redirected folders.

Interoperability with Remote Desktop Services

Your remote access configuration affects how you configure the file server, file shares,
and policies. If your file server also hosts Remote Desktop Services, there are a few
deployment steps that differ:

 You don't have to create a security group for folder redirection users.
 You have to configure different permissions on the file share that hosts the redirected
folders.
 You have to pre-create folders for new users and set specific permissions on those
folders.

Interoperability with other storage features

To make sure that folder redirection and offline files interact correctly with other storage
features, check the following configurations:

 If the file share uses Distributed File System (DFS) Namespaces, the DFS folders
(links) must have a single target to prevent users from making conflicting edits on
different servers.
 If the file share uses DFS Replication to replicate the contents with another server, users
must be able to access only the source server to prevent users from making conflicting
edits on different servers.
 When using a clustered file share, disable continuous availability on the file share to
avoid performance issues with Folder Redirection and Offline Files. Additionally, offline
files might not turn to offline mode for 3-6 minutes after a user loses access to a
continuously available file share, which could frustrate users who are not yet using the
Always Offline mode of offline files.

Client requirements

 Client computers must run Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7.

 Client computers must be joined to the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
domain that you are managing.
 Client computers must run x64-based or x86-based processors. Folder Redirection is
not supported on PCs powered by ARM processors.

This part provides a brief discussion of the concept or the competency to be achieved
and mastered by the learners. Different springboards or sample exercises may also be
provided. Discussions and activities shall be done in friendly and interactive manner.
