In an Active Directory directory service domain environment, you configure the Folder Redirection policy setting for Windows Vista-based client computers. In this situation, every time that this policy setting is applied, all the contents are pinned and are filled in the redirected folder. However, you expect only the updated contents to be pinned and to be filled when the Folder Redirection policy setting is applied.

This behavior results in lots of unnecessary disk writing operations. For example, the search index has to be updated both for the updated contents and for the original contents in the redirected folder. Also, this problem makes the network performance slow when the Folder Redirection policy setting is applied.

Note: The Folder Redirection policy setting will be applied if one the following conditions is true:

• The Folder Redirection policy setting is changed.
• You enable the Folder Redirection policy processing policy setting together with the Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed option.
