[THIN] Re: Vanilla 2008 Terminal Server Logon Issue [Virus Scanned] [Spam score:8%]

Many thanks for the replies so far.

The only entry in the Run registry key is for a debug tool written in house to try and diagnose this issue. Obviously the issue was occuring before we wrote this tool and added the entry.

Interesting that you say that it is more reliable to hard code the folder redirction into the profile. Unfortunatley we need to have the concpt of roaming profiles to support some of our apps which write config into the users profile which must persist between logons. Also the profile location differs dependin upon the group membership of the user.
When you found gpo folder redirection unreliable how did you detect this? Through the users folder not being directed to the correct location or gpo events logged? It is very strange that Resultant Set of Policy says the GPO was applied and even gives the correct paths.

I have looked at flex profiles in the past - looks like a nice solution - but trying to avoid the extra work if possible!

Once again thanks for all the ideas...

Regards

Will

I have always found it more reliable to hard code the folder
redirections into the user's profile rather than rely on the folder
redirection gpo.

Have you looked at ten flex profile kit from LoginConsultants?
