Folder Redirection with offline files

This will probably be the only link I post to a Microsoft document.  Their docs are almost always incomplete and useless.  This one worked for me though.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/folder-redirection/deploy-folder-redirection

One change though.  In Step 2 they instruct Administrators -- Full Control -- This Folder only,  for permissions.

But if you do that, you cannot set the file permissions they instruct for the subdirectory in Step 3, which is Administrators -- Full Control -- This folder, subfolders, and files.

That is because of inheritance.  I just changed the permissions in Step 2 to Administrators -- Full Control -- This folder, subfolders, and files, and everything else worked.
