How to Configure a DeSC Computer for Folder Redirection

When you are ready to leave for the day today, give yourself 10-15 minutes to perform the following:

1. Reboot the computer
2. Once the computer is back up, log into Windows using your domain account.
3. As the machine is logging in, you should see "Applying Group Policy Objects..." and then "Folder Redirection" which can take  from 10-15 minutes.  On rare occasions, with users with very large amounts of data on their computer it may take up to 40 minutes for Folder Direction to complete).
4. Next, do one of the following:
   • Wait for the Folder Redirection to complete and for the Windows desktop to appear so you can log off.
   • Leave for the day after you confirmed the Folder Redirection GPO is working.  Windows will automatically lock the desktop 10 minutes after it completes redirecting the folders in the Profile folders.
   • If you don’t see Folder Redirection after logging in  -- Run through steps 1-3 again
