[Samba] GPO redirected folders reg path issue

[L.P.H. van Belle]

We are not much off. But you have mixed "samba/window" and "windows/windows" settings. 
Samba/windows \\%logonserver%\home\%username%\desktop
Windows/windows \\hostname.fqdn.tld\users\%username%\desktop 

Guess, which one i use.  ;-)  

Now, do get where this is coming from. 
So use this (add CNAME for you member server ), Note, you MUST setup PTR records. 
\\ALIAS-CNAME.fqdn.tld\users\%username%\desktop 


And offcourse this is not correct. 
\\%logonserver%\home\%username%\desktop.  

You "logon" server = the DC. Not the member. 

So my advice, setup as suggested, and im sure you never see this again. 

Greetz, 

Louis
