Folder Redirection

A Group Policy feature that stores user folders such as Documents on a network share.

Definition

Folder redirection points known folders to a server location so data is centrally stored and backed up. It reduces roaming profile size. In cloud-managed environments, OneDrive Known Folder Move provides a similar outcome.

Example

Redirect Documents and Desktop to \\fs01\users\%username%.

Exam tip

Redirection keeps data on the server; offline files cache it locally.
