We have 8000 users 2.6 million files, 2million folders in our profiles folder

Does anyone have experience with profile management

1) what folders can I redirect without possibly effecting app performance
2) I notice Mcrappie av has created mutiple folders in all 8k users profiles (app data) can I stop it or force them to be redirected?
3) most importantly I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has set this up, and pitfalls or dos /don't

Bizarrely we have no budget for profile managment software so it will have to be done with group policy's
 
OK start from the beginning.

Why are you using roaming profiles? Is it operationally vital? or is it purely a historic convenience which if you scrapped would affect a handful of users?

Most of the time it's convenience and taking docs from profiles and shoving them into redirected "my documents" hosted on a share is simply easier and better particularly if you don't have full disk encryption on endpoints
