Re: Roaming Profiles and redirected folders
For the desktop, you will be sure not to replicate through offline folder.
We firstly used redirection on folder, and then rollback to fully roaming
profile.
Too many software that does poor "..\" and think they are in the root of the
profile.
(The desktop may work better than the application data).
Don't forget, if you lost the connection to the server, all desktops will
become empty on all station.
We had this behaviour even with an MSCS cluster filer when moving resources
It's even worst with the quicklaunch in application data, that won't came
back without manual intervention.
