Redirected Folders, Offline Files, Remote Desktop = Data Loss
Hi All. I have a strange bug going on and it's resulting in data loss. The best description of the setup is here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/09/01/microsoft-s-support-statement-around-replicated-user-profile-data.aspx Scenario 1B: DFS Namespace is configured single link target Using Windows 7 SP1 clients but have also seen the problem with Windows 8 clients. Users map the H: drive using the AD attribute to a DFS path. Redirected Folders are configured for Desktop, Favorites, Pictures and Documents. Offline Files is enabled on the Redirected Folders using the %HOMESHARE% (limited to Laptops only). At complete random, Users Redirected Folders are being wiped clean and we're having to restore from Backup. There seems to possibly be a common link - Remote Desktop. Everyone who has experienced this issue has been connected to another PC using Remote Desktop at the time (presumably using the same account). e.g. in one situation, a user was logged onto a Laptop and at the same time they were remotely connected to a work desktop via RDP and their redirected folders were wiped clean. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks Ben
