Hello people,
My goal is to change the location of two user Shell Folders located under %USERPROFILE%\AppData with a GPO.
The keys in question are named Local AppData and AppData, which are located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders.
I defined a create-GPO and a replace-GPO by selecting the specific registry keys inside the GPO management console, which is pretty straightforward.
Desired values for those keys would be the following.
Local AppData
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\AppData\Local
AppData
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\AppData\Roaming
After user login, the values are not being updated nor do the folders redirect to the desired location.
Server OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard
Client OS: Windows 10
I appreciate any efforts.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice one,
Andreas

Hello @Andreas - IT Operator
Why not to apply the next policy:
user configuration>Windows settings>folder Redirection>Documents
(You can specify other folders like downloads and music here too (same idea)
Hope this helps with your query,
