Description: The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection was passed flags (0) and returned a failure status code of (1338).

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the folder security permissions that are at the destination of the folder redirection policy are too restrictive.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, grant the System account Full Control permissions to the folder on the server that is storing the contents of the user's My Documents folder. Also, grant Full Control permissions to any subfolders of the folder that is storing the contents of the user's My Documents folder.

Note By default, there is no folder to store the content of the user's My Documents folder on the server. When the user logs on for the first time, the folder is automatically created, the user is granted ownership, and the System account is granted Full Control permissions. Through inheritance, these permissions are then passed to any subfolders that are created on the server.
