Hi Everyone
I have an issue with Internet Explorer not opening up URL shortcuts from networked locations.
The setup I have is a Windows 2008R2 Terminal Server (patched and up to date), which uses setup for folder re-direction (all folders bar app data) to redirect the data to a network share on the same server (ie, the my documents folder is redirected to \\server\users\username\my documents).
When the user opens internet explorer and tries to open a favorite, the active tab sits there with a connecting... displayed on it, and does nothing else. Opening the URL shortcut directly from the favorites folder does the exact same thing.
However, when I login as the domain administrator account, and do the same thing, it works as it should.
There are two ways that I have found to get it working is to not redirect the favorites folder, and disabling the "Enable Protected Mode" for the Internet zone (Internet Options > Security Tab > Select Internet Zone, and uncheck the protected mode box).
I have tried setting the network shares to be located within the local intranet zone, and I do believe that it is setting correctly since I can open an html document in the share and it shows the intranet zone in the status bar.
Does anyone know of a way of getting the favorites working when they are stored on a network share as a re-directed folder?
Many thanks,
Sam.
