newbie to TS 2003 and ts roaming profile please help...

Hello all:

At my company we have 2 individual win 2k term servers.

I want to seup a new 2003 term farm but with ts roaming profiles. This farm
would replace the 2 win 2k servers..

Those 2 servers were intended for a handfull of users and frankly more of
our workers are enjoying working remotly at their homes or on the road.

The servers are used for mainly office 2003 and a very small non resource
demading visual fox pro program..

In the past the previous director recalled stories about the hell he had
when one of the servers hd died. He had no backup and the profiles were
local…

Plus the remote users had a rdp file where some clients were pointed to one
server and the rest to another…

Yikes.. this is another reason why I want to attempt the term svr farm with
NLB.. Budget is a problem but I got enough for 2 powerfull servers but
nothing else as stated by the owner…

I intend to setup a separate OU and place the term servers there. then I can
apply any GPs.
I am testing a simple barebone win 2k3 server with nothing else on it just
to adapt myself with ts roaming profiles…

I used the Gp option for ts roaming profile shared paths and all works fine…

I am also looking at “loopback processing" as shown on Vera Noest’s website
“ts_policies” still clouded about what this policy does if anyone can
elaborate I will be very thankfull…

However logon for a user set for ts roaming takes a little while and so does
logoff… all is well in the event viewer though...

Again this server is just a test machine it has an ata ide mirror hard drive
with a 2Ghz processor and 2GB ram…

A user without roaming profile takes a few seconds to login..

What can I do to control the file sycing when it comes to ts roaming
profiles… I am thinking about using the GP “Exclude directories in roaming
profile”

All our users have their my docs redirected… I am thinking of finding some
way of blocking the users from saving anything on their desktop folder it
self…thus less stuf to save upon log off and less to load upon next logon..

Any ideas.. the help speed up this process…???
