for those of you still using redirected folders, how do you avoid explorer throwing a UAC prompt and adding your account under security permissions when you go to look at a users folder?
k
I follow this guide to set up the parent folder's NTFS permissions, except on step 3 I add an additional security group (service desk/admin team) with full control.

Use the UNC path instead of the local path

oh weird nothing shows up when I use the unc path, something to fix there
unc path did it, thanks!

Sure!
My 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

yeah, that makes sense, I just couldn't work out why it kept prompting to add the account to the security permissions but using UAC gets around that
