Good evening,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way or something to help me out with an issue I been dealing with lately, I have several sites in an Active Directory environment across a WAN. All my servers are in one Domain trust and communicate with one another for replication as all our users tend to move from site to site depending on their roll.
The issue at hand is I currently have a "Users" folder located on the servers at each site, and then have the "Home Folder" directory VIA Active Directory settings in "Users & Computers* set to map the "U: Drive" to their Users folder so it looks something like this
"USERS\%use r%" within the main directory of course is all the users at that site such as
lsmith
msmith
rsmith
And so on... Now all this is working just fine and exactly how I want it too in order for me to run my weekly backups on the servers to ensure all my users documents are being backed up. However let’s say my user is working from their PC and they go into their "My Documents" it pull it from the server path VIA the mapped network drive "U:" and allows them to work from there, in the case that a user deletes a file or even a folder in their network folder being accessed from the server, it does not go to a recycling bin on the user’s PC or even the servers recycling bin...
It just gets deleted and disappears completely from the server, finally my question has anyone ever configured some sort of setting in either GPO's or the registry stating "If file gets deleted from network paths place any deleted items in this folder"
Is there some place to do such a thing? The issue I have is a user calls me saying "I just deleted the contents of my user folder on accident" Well knowing what I know I have to load up my weekly backups and restore the files. However in a case like this it would be so much easier if when they delete stuff from their folder it goes to a file located on the server where I can monitor. I understand this would add more work for me to have to clean it out and what not, but this seems to keep happening to my users and I try to explain it to them but hey...learning how to not hit delete on "accident" seems to be an issue for my users. haha
Thanks in advanced for any answers or solutions.
