UEM Folder Redirection - Wrong Folders (Language)

We are testing out using Folder Redirection with UEM.

The problem we have is that using GPO we have everything set up like this:

Desktop

Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)
   Path: \\<networkpath>\%username%\Bureaublad

Options

   Grant user exclusive rights to DesktopDisabled
   Move the contents of Desktop to the new locationDisabled
   Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systemsDisabled
  Policy Removal BehaviorLeave contents

As you might have noticed we use a Dutch version.: Bureaublad means Desktop.

The same goes for Documents (Documenten), Favorites (Favorieten) etc..

Now when migrating to UEM, all Folder Redirection settings go to the English folders. Net result is that all folders are newly created in English.

Anyone have a solution for this? Migrating all userdata is not a real option for several thousands of users.

Hi SummaCollege​,

Generic logon information from FlexEngine can be viewed in the View Logon Monitor log file. FlexEngine.log continues to log additional logging (especially in verbose mode) regarding FlexEngine (UEM).

Hi SummaCollege and ijdemes,

I just wanted to mention that we (finally...) support more granular folder redirection settings! See my post on the newly released UEM 9.6 for a bit more detail.

Thx UEMdev​!

We are in the process of stepping up our pilot environment to a production environment and migrating several thousands of users. This addition will make my work a heck lot easier!
