SYMPTOMS
You configure folder redirection for the My Documents folder for all Microsoft Windows XP Professional-based computers. However, folder redirection does not redirect folders from the local profile location, or from an existing remote Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, to the new location.
When you view the Fdeploy log, you see the following error message:
Unable to expand %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%, error 59. ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR winerror.h
# An unexpected network error occurred.
Problem identified to function CUsrInfo::GetHomeDir where NetUserGetInfo returned error 53
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH winerror.h
# The network path was not found.
Note "Error 59" errors can occur because of other issues also. "Error 59" errors are not specific to this issue only.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Windows XP Professional-based computer cannot resolve the name of the domain controller when a user logs on to the network.
If the name of the domain controller cannot be resolved, the following scenario occurs:
Typically, this scenario occurs if Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) name resolution does not complete correctly, or if WINS is not used. Additionally, this issue occurs if the user's domain is not in the suffix search list.
