We outsource our IT to a 3rd party and I'm butting heads with them about this issue.
I have a test environment on a Server 2008 R2 machine.
We have folder redirection policies in place for My Documents and Desktop folders.
I need this server to be exempt from the folder redirection policy because icons for production programs follow users on the test server. Users log into the programs and don't realize their on production systems when they test. This has become a huge problem.
I asked our IT people to disable this on the server, but they are saying it will have to be disabled for everyone or they'll need to create a single user account that everyone can use.
I've read about using a Loopback.....is this what we're looking for?
