Hi Chris,

According to Microsoft's documentation, you can only redirect AppData\Roaming.

I have been using folder redirection for years with both pure Windows systems, and mixes of Windows server/Samba AD DC/Linux member server.

But you need to supply a lot more information before somebody can help you. OS and version of your AD DC, OS and version of the member server, smb.conf where applicable.

Best regards,

Peter
