Re: Roaming Profiles and Redirected Folders Inconsistent

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Joe and Lanwench for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you enable roaming profile
and folder redirection for users and the roaming profile do not appear on
some client computers. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't
hesitate to let me know.

For your 2 additional questions, please perform Joe's suggestion.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

1. We do not recommend customer to enable roaming profile and folder
redirection for same user. We know the My Document folder redirection will
be included in roaming profile. The Roaming profile including all folders
of My Document. If you enable they together on one user, that will cause
many issue. Therefore, I suggest you disable the My Document folder
redirection. Then, test this issue.

2. Since this issue only happen on part of client computers, the client
local existing profile may cause this issue. Please backup the user profile
on the problematic client computer, and then delete it. Then test this
issue.

a. Logon the problematic client computer will local administrator.
b. Right-click My Computer , and then click Properties .
c. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under User Profiles pane, click the
problematic profile, and then click Copy To .

NOTE : The profile usually contains the name of the computer and the name
of the user account.

d. In the Copy profile to box, click Browse , and then browse to the
folder to backup the user profiles.
f. Then, click Delete button to delete the profile.

Then, try to logon the user account on the client computer to test.

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
