[Samba] Redirected Folders not working for Desktop

Thu Sep 3 06:13:39 UTC 2015

James,

First, I mis-spoke (typed?) in my previous message. Yes, my redirected folders
are set up as \\mail.hprs.local\Users\%username%, just like you say. (Note, I've
already been chastized about the .local thing -- too late).

I did examine the event logs. For Favorites, Document, Photos, etc. I have
Event 501 messages which say, "Successfully applied policy and redirected folder
"Favorite" to '\\mail.hprs.local\Users\obfuscate\Favorites'", etc. Great.

For the Desktop, I have Event 502, 

Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Desktop" to "\\mail.hprs.local\Users\obfuscate\Desktop".
Redirection options=0x9021
The following error occured: "Can not create folder "\\mail.hprs.local\Users\obfuscate\Desktop"
Error details: "The network path was not found.

So, I created the Desktop folder from Windows and, like the others, set it to
Always Available Online. I rebooted and tried again later and got the same
message, even though the folder now exists. To see image of message:

Folder does exist:

$ ls -l /redirectedFolders/Users/obfuscate/
total 24
drwxrwx---+  2 obfuscate users 4096 2015-09-03 01:41 Desktop/
drwxrwx---+ 10 obfuscate users 4096 2015-08-25 13:08 Favorites/
drwxrwx---+ 19 obfuscate users 4096 2015-08-26 14:28 My\ Documents/

Any idea what's up?

Thanks, --Mark
