Handling user AppData - Windows

I responded to you on another forum but basically I said was Sync bookmarks through Firefox and Chrome Sync with their accounts. For signatures copy it from a sent message.

Relying on users to log in is too much manual. Needs to be fully automated where possible.

I only use a My Documents redirect. The rest can be quite a pain to deal with.

Agreed. I don't typically care about AppData.

Are you the one that creates their signatures in the first place? If not, they can copy and paste that from a sent message in a few seconds. It is way easier than creating a signature from scratch.

Edit: Also, how often do you have a system fail this bad, where copying and pasting a signature is TMW?

Good point. I didn't see RDS in the OP, though. Also, I would hope his RDS servers are regularly backed up (including user profiles)

For an organization that has roughly 2k users, often enough that I want to automate it.

RDS is separate from file services (where RDS is used at remote offices). All systems are backed up (VMware/Veeam environment). Doesn't apply to this thread though so I didn't bring it up.

I figured It was more of an aside.

I wonder if urbackup would be able to do what you want. If it's exclusively for backup.
