Hi all
We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 integrated with MDT 2012 Update 1 to migrate from XP to W7. 'Replace' migrations work fine but only because we logon to W7 to cache the old re-directed folders location (serverA), move user in AD to new OU with new re-directed location (serverB), reboot, login again, run restore (loadstate.exe) script, then check the re-directed folders point to the correct location (serverB) and all files/folders are present.
However, when we use the MDT Task Sequence to perform a 'refresh' migration it's a fully automated process so we do not have the option to cache the old re-directed folders location (serverA) first, etc. Instead, when we logon to W7 for the first time, the 3 re-directed folders (Documents, Desktop & Favorites) have re-directed to the new location (serverB) fine but only the Documents folder is populated with files/folders, not Desktop or Favorites. On closer inspection, the files/folders for Desktop & Favorites have been restored to their local equivalents, not the re-directed folders. We believe this is because W7 did not cache the old re-directed folders (serverA) before it could move them to the new re-directed folders (on serverB).
We would rather not have a post-build task to manually/automatically move the files/folders to the correct Desktop & Favorites folders.
Is there a better solution please?
Thanks
Scott
