We're running a Windows Server 2012 Essentials & Windows 7 environment. I just setup folder redirection and it worked fine for all users except for one. In fact, all folders moved on this user except for the My Documents. The error stated the My Documents folder was corrupt and unreadable (error below). If I look on the server I see that all folders in My Docs were copied over, but not all files.
My question is two part: 1) Is there a way to tell which file(s) is corrupt and causing problems; and 2) how can I attempt to move them again considering some already moved and we have many other users already moved over?

I'd be looking at long folders / file names rather than corruption as such. You may try resetting permissions, too.
Alternatively, back up her My Docs. Delete the files, check redirection works and manually copy to the redirected folder. These steps may also highlight the original issue.
