We have an application that writes to %userprofile%\local settings\
application data

By default Local Settings are excluded from the roaming profile

Does anyone know how to include folders under Local Settings in the roaming
profile??

Maybe a batch file that executes when the user logs off?

No - that's what local means. You should have a word with the application
developer to see whether you can redirect this to the non-local
folder.....and also find out whether the app is meant to be run in a TS or
domain environment, where LocalSettings data will not always be available
after logout/login.
 
Re: Roaming profile issue

Hey guys

I got round the issue by doing this reg setting


ExcludeProfileDirs

Located in:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

This would mean all NEW users would pick up this change and thus their local
settings would be saved to and from their roaming profiles.


******

The funny thing is - as I don't allow my users to run regedit on the desktop
- I wrote a script to import this reg setting on login - the setting only
works if I make them a member of local admins on the server - strange as I
thought a login script would be able to add those settings ...??
