Re: Roaming profiles

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It most definitely is NOT redundant. This is typically how's it done so that when a user logs in they are not downloading that information. In fact, you may want to consider further redirecting the My Documents folder out so that the login times are sped up. You can easily turn off caching off the shares to eliminate those errors. It is not truly affecting anything outside of the event log filling up.

The only thing you may want to test, if your performance is bad during the actual session is to cut out the redirection of AppData. This can potentially slow down the session and depends on how much your applications go back and forth with that folder.

Hopefully that makes a bit of sense but you are doing things correctly with your setup and I would recommend going a step further and redirecting your My Documents folder.

Hi there,

I have an an issue I would like to clean up on some TS servers that I'm hoping someone can help with. Running 3 Win2k3 TS servers in cluster.

Group policy is running on the TS Servers and TS Users and it specifies that the roaming profiles are saved to a network location. This works fine and is how I would like it. There is also another setting that is being used that redirects their Application Data and Desktop folders to another location on the server. I would like to remove this as it is redundant witht he roaming profiles and it seems to be slowing the servers down not to mention errors in the eventvwr about offline caching.

Am I correct in thinking that this is redundant having the folder redirection on? Also, what is the graceful of removing it so the users do not lose any data?

Thanks
