07/28/2025, 6:31 PMMy setup for redirected folders is:
Everyone: This folder only -> Execute - Root like D:\
Creator Owner: Subfolders and files only - Modify
Group/Domain Users: This folder only - Modify -> Desired folder like D:\Folderredirection
Helpdesk group: Modify on specific folder
Local administrators: Fullcontrol on Root D:\
All reset actions have to be done via UNC path
