[Solved] Folder redirect policy when migrating to Windows 10?
Hello!
With the release of Windows 10, I started having problems with folder redirect. On Windows 7 and Windows 8, I had the following: the %username% folder was created on the resource; the profile + roaming folders were stored in it:
%username%
.V2 - roaming profile
Desktop - roaming folder "Desktop"
Documents - roaming folder "My Documents"
Downloads - roaming folder "Downloads"
Favorites - roaming folder "Favorites"
All this was "ruled" by politicians. When moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8, the structure was preserved and everything worked fine. When Windows 10 came out, the system broke down. It became like this:
%username%
.V2 is a Windows 8 roaming profile
.V6 - roaming profile Windows 10
Desktop - roaming folder "Desktop"
Documents - roaming folder "My Documents"
Downloads - roaming folder "Downloads"
Favorites - roaming folder "Favorites"
Moreover, new folders for the desktop, documents were formed in the .V6 folder and etc. That. when switching to Windows 10, I had an additional problem - copying roaming folders to a new location in the Windows 10 .V6 profile folder. This is not convenient.
I saw many people have this problem, but I did not understand how to solve it. In one place it is described that in Windows 10 there is a KB that breaks the folder redirect policy. But I have the latest version of Windows 10 16_something_there. And I don't have this KB. Elsewhere, it is advised to use a WMI filter. I have a filter for windows 10 systems, but I do not understand how it will help me in solving the problem. I tried to apply it, but it doesn't work. The filter is:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like "10.0%" AND ProductType="1" AND OSArchitecture = "64-bit"
Tell me
how you can solve the problem so that the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 or Windows 10 is as painless as possible .

Можно разделить эти папки и привести к виду:
Profiles\%username%.V2,V6\
UserApp\%username%\Favorites, Application Data...
UserData\%username%\Desktop, My Documents
Таким образом, самое необходимое будет находиться в папках UserApp, UserData.
И они будут синхронизироваться, по статическому имени, а всё что не нужно пользователю, хранится в Profiles.
