Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) Utility Displays an Incorrect Redirected Folder Path (814612)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 64-Bit Datacenter Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 64-Bit Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition

SYMPTOMSWhen you perform a Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) query on a
user account, the Redirected Path column in the RSoP MMC
snap-in may display an incorrect path for the redirected folder.CAUSEThis issue may occur when you perform the RSoP query on a
user account that all the following conditions are true for:
- You create a Group Policy object (GPO) linked to an
organizational unit to redirect that user's My Pictures folder to one share,
and either not redirect the user's My Documents folder or redirect it to another
share.
- You create a second GPO linked to that same organizational
unit to redirect other users' My Documents folders to a different share.
- You increase the priority of the second GPO over that of
the first GPO (raise it higher in the list of GPOs for that organizational
unit).
This configuration causes unexpected results for the redirection
of the initial user's My Pictures folder. For example, it may return the My
Pictures folder to the default location on the user's local computer, or it may
move the My Pictures folder to the same share location as that of the user's My
Documents folder. However, the RSoP results for that user do not display the
correct location for the My Pictures folder. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATIONThe Microsoft RSoP tool provides administrators with a
powerful and flexible base-level tool to plan, monitor, and troubleshoot Group
Policy. RSoP planning mode allows administrators to plan for how Group Policy
changes will affect a targeted user or computer. Logging mode, which is
available without Windows Server 2003, allows administrators to verify the
policies currently in effect on a specific computer.
