Roaming user profiles and folder redirection
Roaming profiles allow the user to have the same working environment no matter
what computer they log on to, by storing the profiles on the NAS server. The first
time that a user logs in after roaming profiles have been enabled, a roaming profile
does not exist for the user, so Windows uses the profile that’s stored in the local
C:\Documents and Settings\ folder. When the user logs off, the entire contents of
the local profile (minus the Internet Explorer cache) is copied to the server. If the
user has a lot of big files, this process can take a long time to complete.
Note: If you want to configure a portion of your storage array as network attached
storage, see Chapter 8, “Setting up network shares,” on page 49.
To prevent performance issues, use folder redirection. This allows you to save
portions of the user’s profile in a different location on the network than the
roaming profile. The advantage to using folder redirection is that once a folder has
been redirected to an alternate location, it no longer has to be copied every time
that the user logs on or off. The folders that you can redirect are:
v Application Data
v Desktop
v My Documents
v Start Menu
