| Guest | Roaming Profiles AND(!!!) Folder Redirection After reading Vista's "Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide" (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...nt%20Guide.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? -- Peter |

| Master | Re: Roaming Profiles AND(!!!) Folder Redirection Hmm Hi Peter, Far as I know you can only set the roaming profile path to 1 spot. Not 2 different folders. I think this is by design. Not 100% sure withVista. Raj |

| Guest | Re: Roaming Profiles AND(!!!) Folder Redirection 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. -- Peter "rajinisback" wrote: Quote: > > Hmm Hi Peter, > Far as I know you can only set the roaming profile path to 1 spot.
