My environment has the following physical folder structure:ĭ:\RoamingProfiles\UserProfiles\User01.V2 – used by new Windows 7 profile folder redirectionĭ:\RoamingProfiles\UserProfiles\User02.V2 The Scriptīased on that structure, I created my script in the D:\RoamingProfiles folder, and assumed it would be run with a single parameter, the %UserName%. This hopefully takes care of the odd permission on some profiles where the user has full access to the top folder only.Using / G on that kind of folder generates errorlevel 13 and the message "The data is invalid". Teachout recommended the /G parameter to grant permissions, I had better luck with the /P parameter to replace permissions. For permission assignment, you can use the built-in cacls utility.

However in order to assign ownership back to end users, you’ll need to download and install subinacl. You can use the built-in utility takeown to assign ownership to Administrators.Starting from Richard Teachout’s article, I came up with the following approach. While it is possible to do this in the GUI, if you need to do it for lots of users, you’ll want to develop a script. If you need to reset permissions on a user folder, you will first need to take ownership of the entire folder, then reset permissions, then assign ownership back to the user. If you run into permission issues, first make sure your parent folder permissions are correct as defined above. All permissions apply to This folder, subfolders and files. We’ll look at resetting them in script below. These permissions are set automatically when the system creates a profile. (*) Although documented to include This folder, when I set that permission, for some reason the system changes it to Subfolders and files only, the same as for the roaming profile.

No files or programs from the shared folders are available offlineĪll files and programs that users open from the shared folder are automatically available offline. With that background, here’s how I set up my two server shares: Share Setup

Folder redirection does not do its own caching, so Offline File Caching should be allowed or even forced (“autocaching”).

Roaming profiles have their own caching mechanism so Offline File Caching must be disabled on the share.

Based on the Recommendations for Using Offline Files article, I also set the following group policy to Enabled: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files\ Synchronize all offline files before logging off.

I’ve added that permission to the parent folders, and I’ve set the following group policy to Enabled: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\ Add the Administrator security group to the roaming user profile share.

I do want Administrators to have Full control of roaming profiles and shared folders.

Some additional considerations before presenting my combined settings: If you compare the permissions, you’ll see that they are almost identical.

Security Recommendations for Roaming User Profiles Shared Folders.

Here are two key TechNet articles listing required permissions: So we are left with the Server 2003 documentation. The article Using Folder Redirection talks about new features in Server 2008 R2 but does not address security.

So I want to check/reset permissions on both. I set up folder redirection to reduce logon delay when using roaming profiles (as recommended here). What should the permissions be, and how do I fix them?įirst I should mention that I consider roaming profiles and folder redirection to be two sides of the same coin. In spite of following the Microsoft migration guide, Migrate Server Roles to Windows Server 2008 R2, users were unable to access their roaming data after the migration. I recently migrated a Server 2003 domain controller to Server 2008 R2. One of the biggest challenges of working with roaming profiles and folder redirection is setting permissions on the shared objects.
