Hi,

I'm having the problem where a redirected start menu appears empty. Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 SP1

Note:- Same is working perfectly fine with Windows XP machines.

I beleive the policy is set up correctly.

Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)

Path: \\10.x.x.x\redirection\StartMenu

Options:

Grant user exclusive rights to Start Menu - Disabled 

Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location - Disabled 

Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems  - Enabled 

Policy Removal Behavior - Leave contents

Start Menu and Taskbar
