Hi, we are using folder redirection: \\server\share\%username% Now we have to change some of the usernames. After login, we find event id "502" from source "folder redirection" in the eventlog and the files and folders are not moved to the new location: Redirect options=0x80001009 The following error occurred: "Failed to copy files from "\\server\share\oldusername\desktop" to "\\server\share\newsusername\desktop". Error details: "This file is currently not available for use on this computer. The permission on the server is set to recommendations in the windows 7 ressource kit (page 563): CREATOR OWNER – Full Control (Apply to: Subfolders And Files Only) System – Full Control (Apply to: This Folder, Subfolders, And Files) Domain Admins – Full Control (Apply to: This Folder, Subfolders, And Files) (This option is required only if you want administrators to have full control.) <each group listed in policy> – Create Folder/Append Data (Apply to: This Folder Only) <each group listed in policy> – List Folder/Read Data (Apply to: This Folder Only) <each group listed in policy> – Read Attributes (Apply to: This Folder Only) <each group listed in policy> – Traverse Folder/Execute File (Apply to: This Folder Only) Is there a "best practice" when changing usernames and using folder redirection? Bye, Christian

Hi, If you change the username on PC, I’m afraid you should rebuild the folder redirection. Furthermore, there are similar threads may be helpful to you: http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=502&eventno=9101&source=Folder%20Redirection&phase=1 http://serverfault.com/questions/8338/why-is-folder-redirection-failing-on-windows-vista-with-event-id-502 Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.
