Fixing Broken Folder Redirection

SITUATION:

I am hoping someone can help me with a folder redirection problem I am having – only users in the "Head Office" group should get folder redirection, but I have found everyone is getting there folders redirected.

In order to try to fix the situation I have been checking the settings are as per : Deploy Folder Redirection with Offline Files

The only difference so far that I have not been able to over come is the folder permissions are different. I also note in the current setup the Home Path is being set in Active Directory Users > Profile for each user - this is in addition to the GPO. I assume that they are both doing the same thing and that I really shouldn't been to do it through each user in Active Directory Users > Profile.

When I go to add special permissions to the Home Drives folder (adding List folder / read data1 Create folders / append data1 Read attributes1 Read extended attributes1 Read permissions1)

I get the error : Error Applying Security - An error occured while applying the security information to D:\Home Drives\Some User\Desktop. Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

Note that the existing users have data in there, and so not wanting to create a worse mess I have not tried to push this any further. The current owner of the home drives folder is the Administrators group.

The current users with full control are:

Administrator

Administrators

SYSTEM

Authenticated Users (Read & Execute)

Head Office Users (Special)


Is anyone able to advise what should be done now?

I see under Home Drives\User.Name\ there is folders like: Desktop, Documents, Favourites, Pictures but there is also Home Drives\User.NameV6\ with 3D Objects, Contacts, Downloads, Links etc.

The ownership of these folders is different too:

Home Drives - Owner Administrators

Homes Drives\User.Name - Owner Administrators

Home Drives\User.NameV6 - Unable to Display

Home Drives\User.Name\Documents - Unable to Display
