Group Policy Application 2: Redirection folder

Previous Article: http://www.bkjia.com/ OS /201110/109124.html

After the system is installed, Several folders for storing videos, music, and favorites will be automatically created in the current user's directory (1 ), but there are still some people who like to create several similar folders to store in other hard disk partitions, which means that the folders created by the system are wasted.

Figure: 1 I think someone will jump out at this time. Here, everything is lost once the system is reinstalled. This is really a big mistake. In fact, the position pointed to by the folder here can be modified, such as "My image". Open its attribute window, on the "location" tab, click "move" to move "my images.

Figure: 2 this should be a small Method for redirecting local files, but it can only ensure that we will not lose files when reinstalling the system. What if it is in an Enterprise Domain environment? Of course, our employees do not want to lose files, but we prefer to log on to any PC in the domain environment to access their own documents, we should also create such an IT environment for our employees. First, create a hidden shared folder on the file server to store all the files redirected by the domain user, and grant the everyone read/write permission, because after setting the Redirection policy, to allow everyone to write files to this shared file, grant the write permission. However, to ensure security, you must hide the sharing.

Figure: 3 setting sharing is the prerequisite for applying the redirection folder policy. After setting this policy, we will edit the Group Policy, in "start"> "Management Tools", locate the "Group Policy Management" option and open it. Create a new policy under the Organization Unit DEMO and name it "redirection ", edit the policy. In the navigation view of the "Group Policy Management Editor", choose "user configuration"> "windows Settings"> "Folder Redirection ", you can see documents, images, music, videos, and other options. Let's take documents as an example.

Figure: 4 Right-click the document and open the attribute menu. First, let's take a look at the settings under the target tab. Step 1: Modify the [target] Option to specify the Redirect location

Figure: 5 [settings]: three options are available in the drop-down list, they are "Basic-redirect everyone's folders to the same location", "advanced-specify a location for different user groups", and "not configured", respectively ", [basic-redirect everyone's folders to the same location]: We recommend that you select this option for centralized management. [advanced-specify a location for different user groups]: you can redirect different user groups to different storage locations. [not configured]: This is the default setting and the current location of this folder is not changed. [Destination folder location]: there are still four drop-down options in this setting. We can specify the specific location for redirection according to specific requirements,

Figure: 6 when selecting item 2 and item 4, you are required to specify the [root path]. Since the basic items are selected on the [settings] tab, to distinguish different users, we recommend that you select "Create a folder for each user under the root directory path" in this item; "root path": the UNC path must be used here: Step 2: set the permission to redirect folders and delete group policies

Figure: 7 this option is easy to understand and will not be explained too much. If you select "Move the content of the document to a new location", the user directory of the client is selected (see figure 1) "My Documents" in will disappear.

Figure 8. However, we can find it through the "Start" menu-user name. At the same time, we can see that the location of "My Documents" has changed and has already pointed to the location of the file server.

Figure: 9 when we open a shared folder on the file server, we will find that a folder named after the user name already exists. This folder contains a document folder, what is stored here is the files stored by the client in "My Documents". At this time, as long as we log on using a domain user, No matter on which PC, you can edit your files at any time.

Figure 10 using group policies we can also share favorites, favorite music, and favorite movies, but our administrator must make a disk quota, otherwise, if someone stores soap love series in the video, it is time to test the file server performance.
