Re: Roaming Profiles and redirected folders

Can you explain more what you mean by, "You shouldn't have it on redirected
folder (application data) if used,
because it break the goal with redirected folder (not having a sync copy)."

I am not using Offline files on the Profile. I have that turned off. My
Roaming profile is not setup as redirected folder using a Group Policy. I
go to the Profile tab in the Users Properties in AD Users and Computers and
set the path to \\server_name\Profiles\%username%.

you mean the offline setup on the roaming profile share ? it's useless.

Roaming profile is synced with the local copy on log on and log off by
windows based on the modification date. It's not using the offline folder
for this part.

You shouldn't have it on redirected folder (application data) if used,
because it break the goal with redirected folder (not having a sync copy).

Ok, now I am getting somewhere. I see a Adobe folder in there and it is
the folder that is housing all my 3.6 GB data. Wonder if I need this
folder. I have the Adobe Master Suite loaded on my system.

Do you know what the Offline setting for a Roaming Profile is suppose to
be set to?

My profile is 3.6 GB which is huge I know. My Mydocs is a Offline
folder and also my desktop is. I don't have my profile setup for
offline.

If it's really quick, it's not due to bad configuration/setup.

Now you have to digg on the profile size, fragmented filer...

How big are your profiles ?
any offline sync folder?

Ok I created a new user and set him up the same way. He does log on
much quicker then everyone else. More assumption is because this user
really has nothing in his profile yet, but as it grows that is when
the logon process takes longer. Am I correct in this assumption? Any
recommendations for cleaning my profiles? Or is my problem elsewhere?

hello,

can you trying by creating a fresh user ? If it's still so slow with
an empty profile, that's something else (dns...)
any eventlog error entry ?

We have been using roaming profiles and redirected folders for
awhile and we are noticing some serious slowness when a person goes
to log into their machines. After you type in your password the
message saying, "Loading your personal settings" is on the screen
for a good 4-5 minutes before it changes to "Applying your personal
settings". What can I do to troubleshoot this? Does it have anything
to do with my roaming profiles or redirected folder setup? I
created 3 shares on my server. One share is \\server_name\Profiles\
for my roaming profiles. I have the offline setting on this share
set to, "Files or programs from the share will not be available
offline". My second share is \\server_name\desktops for my
desktops. I have the offline settings for this set to, "Only the
files and programs that users specify will be available offline."
My third share is \\server_name\MyDocs for my redirected My
Documents. The offline settings for this share are also set to,
"Only the files and programs that users specify will be available
offline." I see that there is another offline option that states,
"All files and programs that users open from the share will be
automatically available offline" it also has a check box saying,
"Optimized for performance". Should I be using that setting instead
for all 3 of my shares?

I think I have read somewhere that this could be a DNS issue also,
but I don't really think that is the case.

Thanks
-Scott
