How did you create your "base" profile? Any tweaks?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would you be able to provide a ProcMon trace of a logon in which this issue occurs?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

In logs I can see:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2020-02-19 07:57:37.318 [WARN ] Redirected 'Downloads' folder to '\\path_to_share\%username%\Downloads' but initialization failed with error 0x8007001f ('User Profile redirection - Lietotaju atbalsta nodala.xml')&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All other folders like Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos are successfully redirected as I can see from log file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

For all users? Does the target "Downloads" folder already exist?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEMdev&lt;/B&gt;​&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I used guide from techzone to prepare and optimize image, as I remember there was told to use standard user profile and not to use mandatory profiles. I did step by step configuration including OS optimization tool. Now I see they have updated guide on 30.01.2020, but I used guide from 10.10.2020, as I can see from changelog.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I could try to give ProcMon trace log, but I'm not familiar with this tool and I don't know how to run so it's capture all necessary information at logon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I just wanted to check, as we've seen some folder redirection-related issues in the past where people had been a bit too aggressive in "optimizing" the default profile &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon"&gt;ProcMon&lt;/A&gt; &lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;is a Microsoft tool that captures all registry and file system activity&lt;/SPAN&gt;. &lt;A href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec"&gt;PsExec&lt;/A&gt; i&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;s another Microsoft tool that we can use to run ProcMon &lt;SPAN style="font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;non-interactively in the system account while a normal logon takes place, using steps similar to the following:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;Log on to the console with an admin account&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;Copy PSExec.exe and ProcMon.exe to folder C:\X&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;Run C:\X\PSExec.exe -accepteula -sd C:\X\ProcMon.exe -accepteula -quiet -backingfile C:\X\Log.PML&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;Log off&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;Log on "the normal way", with your test user&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;From an elevated prompt, run C:\X\PSExec.exe -accepteula -s C:\X\ProcMon.exe -accepteula -quiet -terminate&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;C:\X\Log.PML (and potentially a few additional .PML files, if there were a lot of events) should provide us some insight into what exactly is going on. You can analyze it in ProcMon, but I'd be happy to take a look as well.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;NOTE&lt;/STRONG&gt;: ProcMon traces contain user names, environment info, etc, so do not share them publicly. You can send me a private message with a link to your PML file(s), or you can open a support case with VMware, send the file(s) to our support team, and let me know the SR# so I can pick it up from there.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;if you go to a cmd prompt and type in echo %userprofile% what shows up? For me %userprofile% shows what I shared before, anything that uses will rewrite &lt;STRONG style="font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;STRONG style="font-style: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit;"&gt;\\path_to_share\%userprofile%\Downloads to whatever %userprofile% redirects to. If it works for as %userprofile% maybe you changed that somehow&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG style="font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Not that I doubted you; just to make sure the ProcMon log contains the information I need &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I most probably won't have time today to dive into this, but I'll keep you posted. Either in this thread, or by private message (in case of PII.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;B&gt;rsaulitis&lt;/B&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've analyzed the ProcMon trace you took. Unfortunately, the collected stack traces don't have FlexEngine.dll (that happens sometimes, for reasons unknown) which made it a bit harder to troubleshoot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But even without those extra details: for each of the folders that need to be redirected, FlexEngine performs exactly the same Windows calls. Windows performs exactly the same additional calls behind the scenes. It's just that the Windows function that takes care of the "Desktop.ini" file for some reason (file server, antivirus interference, ?) gets a different result code for the "Downloads" folder, which means that it won't create that file, and DEM subsequently logs that "redirected successfully, but error initializing" message.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/17569iFE03FEF9EBA60BDB/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_1.png" alt="pastedImage_1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;("CreateFile" in this case tries to create the directory on the UNC path; "NAME COLLISION" corresponds with "folder exists", which the calling code can deal with successfully.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not really sure how to proceed, I'm afraid. If you don't mind, could you try a few things for a test user?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Redirect the Downloads folder to a local folder. Something like:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_13.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/17570i18A7B4486DDD4316/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_13.png" alt="pastedImage_13.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Redirect the Downloads folder to &lt;STRONG&gt;\\Same\UNC\Path\%USERNAME%\TestFolder&lt;/STRONG&gt; instead of &lt;STRONG&gt;...\Downloads&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Was this ever resolved? I'm seeing the same thing in my DEM (9.9) logs with Windows 10 1909 and Horizon 7.10.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
