Re: Roaming Profiles and redirected folders

Ok my Offline settings on the server for the Profile share have always had
offline sync turned off, but that Application Data folder resides in the
roaming profile folder. How do you set that to not sync the Application
Data folder?

the offline sync i am speaking is a property of the share on the server.

Should be disable on the roaming profile share, and on redirected folder
share like application data (if you are using 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
