Hi, after migrating the users old domain profile to their new domain one I get the following error when they click on the user folders from explorer:

"Windows cannot access \\oldserver\Users\username\My Documents

You do not have permission to access \\oldserver\Users\username\My Documents. Contact your network administrator to request access."

Now obviously it cannot access it because the old server is on a different network but my concern is that the profile migration has redirected the My Documents folder to the old domain servers path, if I can switch it back to the new domain servers path that will fix everything but I'm not sure how?

** EDIT* **

I managed to clear the errors by resetting the location for the folders, however the default was the old "username" profile not the new "domain.username" profile, is this the correct one?

User Profile Wizard migrates folder redirection settings unchanged. Your My Documents folder was already redirected.

You will need to move the server-based data as well as changing the folder redirection settings on the workstation.

Thank you :)

I knew about the data but was caught by surprise by the path change, do you happen to know if redirection is set by default on essentials 2012 or does it need to be enabled? Thank you.

** EDIT **

For anyone else experiencing this problem, Server Essentials does not enable folder redirection on Windows 10 clients by default as it has a filter to exclude pre-Vista clients and this also excludes 10 (as 10 is not ">= 6.1" in Microsoft's world lol). You have to manually edit the WMI filter, after that and GPU updates (on every W10 client) it works fine.
