How many are using Folder Redirection?
- Thread starter Spooter
- Start date
The main reason is because people always save their stuff in their my documents and if the PC dies then that's it, files are gone.
Folder redirection works nicely with roaming profiles as you said, this generally reduces logon/off times as the profile doesnt grow that much bigger, however it gets annoying when people use their desktops as a swapfile, I don't really like roaming profiles on desktops anyway.

I hate roaming profiles, my last place had some of the folders redirected (desktop, my docs) with local profiles and it worked great.
Current place use roaming profiles with my docs redirected, works ok but annoying when they have a problem with their profile as it effects every machine they go to

Yep, works very nicely and is preferable to roaming profiles for me... but try to avoid along with offline files which are just a general pita.
Only real issues I've found with it have been when attempting to move users over to a DFS infrastructure, mainly due to Windows 256 character limit, but for a couple of other little things that I've needed to hotfix.
