Just curious, when you chose UPD, did you choose to store all settings or just certain folders?

Some applications don't play nicely with roaming profiles.

UPDs mount at the usual C:\Users\user.name and the applications can't tell a difference.

Right. But, only when the user is logged in. After they logout, that path doesn't exist. I am trying to figure out how to work around that for adding the custom (for each user) erp shortcut on their desktop in their session.

Add the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
That way it will always show up on each user Desktop.

This would be nice and easy, but each user has a custom shortcut- It has a workstation ID in the target path.

Create a script that creates the shortcut each user Desktop and append the workstation id in the target path.

You should just need to run this bit, nothing should have to be changed. DFL should be at least 2008

I'm right there with you. QuickBooks has problems enough of its own without involving two operating systems.

Two? Looks like the database only goes on one. No additional complexity. But solves some major licensing costs. Windows Server + CALs just for QB is pretty expensive.

Boy I remember when I came to the understanding that MS really wanted you to build completely separate GPs for users vs devices...

I was wondering why this popped back up.
