Hello,

We have just started to move users to roaming profiles. I have
used a loopback group policy (replace mode) to lock down the
terminal sessions, this includes the settings for the folder
redirection. I have redirected the startmenu, desktop, mydocs
and mypics. Now very randomly at various times of the day,
random users report that they cannot do anything their sessions
have effectively 'frozen', the cursor has permanently changed to
the hourglass. They cant open any programs and cant access the
startmenu. If we log them off/reset their connection from TSM,
that normally gets rid of the problem, but sometimes we have to
do this about 3 times before they can logon succesfully. I
cannot seem to see any relation to what is happening, i have
enabled verbose folder redirection logging but this is yet to
yield anthing helpful. At the moment we have just two servers
set up for this TS1 & TS2( I have them set up in seperate
container with the loopback gp applied to this). TS1 has only 5
users on it so far, TS2 has about 10, we get this problem across
both of them. We do not get this problem on our other 6 servers
where the users are set up with local profiles.

All our servers run win2k3 sp2.
The server that the users files are stored on has two disk
drives one for profiles and one for the redirected folders.
These are actually ISCSI Luns that exist on Storevault SAN. This
is connected via 1gbs network.

Is the ISCSI San the prob? Have I added a conflicting setting
perhaps in this new GP? Is the GP too much of a strain for our
TS/ Network perhaps?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Matt
