Roaming Profiles AND(!!!) Folder Redirection

P

Peter Manse

After reading Vista's "Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide"
(http://download.microsoft.com/downl...naging Roaming User Data Deployment Guide.doc)
I thought I understood what I needed to do. But it's not working the way I
thought. I now have the sneaking suspicion that you can deploy one (roaming
profiles) or the other (folder redirection) but not both! Can someone please
confirm?

Here's what I tried to do (which, by the way, is what I want to do):

1. For folder redirection I set up a share called UserData.
2. For roaming profiles I set up a share called UserProfiles.

The idea should be obvious: Keep the profiles small to allow for fast logins
and put the documents (and everything else) on the server for backup.

But the result is that everything goes to UserProfiles.

What's up?

Thanks, Raj, but I THINK there is a difference between "roaming profiles" and
"folder redirection." I want my roaming profiles to go to one (and only one)
path and my redirected folders to go to a totally different path.
