Folder Redirection Issue

[Aycle]

Hi Folks

 

This is my first time posting and I hope I have this in part of the forum, apologies if not.

 

I have a strange problem as follows:

 

I have set up folder redirection successfully in combination with roaming profiles. I am using Server 2008 r2 btw. This took many hours of fiddling and reading forums but it does seem to be working.... almost.

 

I set up a whole bunch of standard user accounts with the necessary permissions and the required v2 folders for the profiles. These all work fine on client systems. The problem comes with my own account. I tested it out as a a standard user on 2 different client machines and all was fine, however, as I am the admin, I added my account to the domain admin and administrators groups. I logged on to the server successfully, my desptop picture and test files were all present, so all good so far.

 

However, whenever I now log on to a client machine with my admin account, it says invalid network path. In front of the unc path \\server\profiles\adminuser it now it trying to locate my desktop on the client machine and looks for the desktop at \\client\server\profiles\adminuser, which clearly does not exist.

 

Why did my profile work fine until I promoted myself to admin? Why now do client machines look for my desktop at the wrong location? This is only happening with my account that I use on the server machine too, after I promoted it to admin.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. I have googled extensively and can't seem to find anyone with this issue. Thanks in advance for your help.
