Known Folder Move, error code 0x80070005
We have tried the "Redirect the folder back to the local userprofile location when policy is removed" setting, verified the GPO has been applied but once we switch the user to an OU that has no Folder Redirection settings it keeps the files in the local Offline Folder directory and not in the C:\Users\<username>\<folder name>.
Sadly changing "Prohibit users from manually changing the path..." did not correct the error
User has redirect Folders GPO applied, machine (with loopback) GPO reverts it all back to local drive for user in that machine OU
So in the end it is like no folder redirection happened (confirming by checking HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders )
Anybody has any better ideas?
EDIT:
Ofcourse it all works fine if NO folder redirection ever happened! (but that is not the point!)
So basically have a setup in that way
- device that is not to use FR has a marker folder in c:\windows & there is top level GPO created with GPP 2 variables based on this folder existence
- FR GPO runs ONLY if the variable is 0 (so it does NOT run on this device!)
- device that is to get rid of FR is in its own lowest level OU
- in that lowest level OU there is machine (with loopback) GPO that reverts it all back to local drive for user
- user logs in once, FR gets reset to nothing
- above GPO is then unliked/deleted from this OU
- after reboot user logs in & OD KFM works a treat!
We did that same thing and it works about half the time. Once we get to that last reboot it seems like we need to do a bunch of reboots and then it works.
If you try to keep existing profile, then you will need few reboots:
- first with marker applied
- second with FR redirected back to local
- third after above FR to local is unlinked
- make it forth for good measure
- install OD & it should work then
We are experiencing the same issue.
I have changed FR policy to 'redirect to the local path' first and then 'Not configured'.Unfortunately, OneDrive still not redirects the folders.
Could you please explain how you reset FR to nothing?
Thank you.
