Step by Step How to Configure Folder Redirection in Windows Server 2016

What is Folder Redirection?

This article shows you how simply you can redirect folder in Windows Server with group policy. The folder redirection is the way to keep a profile folders to a network location or other location in the local computer. Typically user profiles and settings are stored in local profile. By redirecting folders, you can access to data regardless of which computers you are logs in.

In addition to the immediate benefit of having that data on a file server that is much easier to keep backed up, the user also gets the benefit of being able to go to multiple computers in your organization and still have access to their data. Using the default Windows settings and the default share settings on your file server, these redirection will be even made available offline automatically for your users.

The Policy-Based QoS node

This quality of service (QoS) node, known as the Policy-Based QoS node, defines policies that manage network traffic. For example, you might want to ensure that users in the Finance department have priority to run a critical network application during the end-of-year financial reporting period. You can do that by using the Policy-Based QoS node. In the User Configuration node only, the Windows Settings folder contains the additional Folder Redirection node. With folder redirection, you can redirect user data and settings folders such as AppData, Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music, and Favorites from their default user profile location to an alternate location on the network, where you can manage them centrally.
