Issue with Offline Files
Hello, I've configured folder redirection in group policy in order to redirect "Documents" to "\\servername\%username%" for a specific list of users. After running a gpupdate on their machines, it's working properly. When they log on to a machine which they have not logged on to before and a new profile is created, folder redirection and offline files is set up and configured. I do not have a problem with offline files being automatically set up and configured, it's quite handy. However, I've found that when offline files performs a sync, it's changing the home folder name of "%username%" to "Documents". So now I have a folder which contains all of my home folders most of which are still %username% but for all the users which have offline files configured on their home folder, they've been changes to "Documents". I should note that the share path is still correct, it's just the name of the folder which is being changed.
