New Environment Roaming Profiles with Pre-Existing Data
-
Well, i'm trying to setup UE-V. which is basically a combination of Roaming profiles and folder redirection. somethin like this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj680025.aspx

not a super complex environment. Most docs have laptops and desktops which they love switching between daily. Most users are static and they will have local profiles. Some users bounce between locations (2 geographic locations connected via IPSEC DC/file/cache server at remote location) Gonna use pertino for my home workers and docs who travel a lot.
They've only got a couple LOB applications, their EMR, time clock, etc. Just wanted something to help keep all the moving around of employees easier. I'd love to tell everyone to stay put at their own PC

UE-V is really meant for VDI's and Terminal Servers

It will become very complex with roaming profiles. They tend to break a lot. also using profiles between different versions of windows can create major problems and isn't recommended.
What do they need to move between computers that folder redirection and offline files can't do?

nothing actually. folder redirection it is. no new tech for me today

Folder Redirection provides all the same benefits as Roaming Profiles without the long login/logoff times due to the syncing. It's a much better approach. It'll also be easier to setup for you.

It's not the same. It is similar but it's only used for certain folders. Roaming profiles will do everything including AppData and the registry items.

It was a generalization. He could probably setup folder redirection for documents, etc and then just use roaming profiles for the AppData, etc. The question is, moving away from Citrix, do people still need all that AppData info synced?

OK, lots went on today, but i'll keep the Folder Redirection convo going in here. This is where I'm at.
Share looks like this \server\users$
Within each \users%username%\ there lives a Documents and Desktop folder
I've created a GPO named Folder Redirection, and setup Basic Redirect, etc, the folders aren't populating

Can you post your GP settings for it?
Also it could be permissions, if Group Policy creates the folder it sets the permission if you create them to populate files you have to set them.
