How to Fix 0x8007054f Error – 0x8007054f an internal error occurred trying to create file

A Windows domain user experiences an error message '0x8007054f an internal error occurred trying to create file' when attempting to create a file in a redirected folder on a Mac Server. This issue affects only users who logged onto the Windows domain while the Folder Redirection GPO was active, and not other domain users without redirection/sync settings.

This problem is frustrating because it prevents users from accessing their files in the redirected folders, despite being able to write to parent or child folders. To resolve this issue, we will explore possible root causes and provide step-by-step fixes.

💡 Why You Are Getting This Error

• The Folder Redirection GPO was disabled, and the Windows domain user's local folders were restored, but the error still exists when trying to create a file in the Mac network folder. This suggests that the issue is not solely related to the GPO being enabled or disabled.
• An alternative root cause could be that the application of the policy changed permissions on the Mac folders in some way, which affected the user's ability to write to the redirected folder.
