MY Documnet redirection and roamin profiles

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding Folder redirection and roaming profiles.

Basically, we use Citrix for TS and all the users have two kind of roaming
profiles.

One for Desktop and one when they connect to TS.

By default when you create a roaming profile through AD, the folder is owned
by the user and for the administrator to view subfolders, the administrator
has to change ownership.

This is ok except it changes the My docuuments name from the user to
(Administrators My Documents) and this causes problem with folder redirection.

Is there a way for working around this issue?

Any help will be Appreciated.

yes, make use of this GPO
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Add the
Administrators security group to roaming user profiles

This will give the Administrators permission to view the profile, however
this must be done prior to the creation of the roaming profile to work.

Another thing you could do for the users already with profiles is you can
assign the ownership back to the user once you have granted administrators
their permissions.

Thanks Brian.
I have tried the group policy for the new profiles and chnged ownership back
for the old R Profiles and it works ok.


Thanks
