Problems To View Users Folders On Windows 2008

[heman85pr]

Hello People

1st time post... Thanks for help me

I have Windows 2008 on my File Server and a policy for syncronize all the users documents to a user folder on the File Server.

The issue #1 is: When I enter to the share folder in the File Server, I saw the files like DOCUMENTS and not like a username folder (Ex. User1 Folder). I see the properties of the DOCUMENT folder and I can see the username on share tab. I rename the folder to the user name and this solve the issue.

The issue #2 is: When I use a Windows 7 for explore the Share Folder, I cant see some users folders but those users exist on the File Server. If i explore the File Server Share Folder on a Windows XP I see all the users folders.

What is wrong??? What I need to change on Windows 2008 to see all files from Windows 7?

Thanks for your help

This sounds like a profile issue. The documents are not being redirected to the users "home" folder but the root of the share. Check the profile settings.

The ability to customise the view of each folder that is doing this, the name is actually correct as you will see if you type the direct unc path into folders.

Just disable the feature in group policy or delete the customisation file on the top of the users folder (it will do this again if this isn't controlled by GP)

File is called desktop.ini or something like that (memory blank atm). Delete this on each one doing it and they will list correctly.
