I wouldn't redirect the Chrome Cache or your Outlook PST. AppData Local and Low still remain on the machine. Redirecting AppData just redirects the Appdata\roaming to a file server.
Which is also why you need different profile paths for each OS you use. Including NTUser.dat and the whole profile. Roaming profiles copy the whole profile back and forth from the server. Right - that is clear but the question is, if one were to redirect the appdata folder would that not achieve the same purpose as a roaming profile, in that the user would be able to log in from any machine and use the same Outlook profile, for example? What I want is to avoid having to set up Outlook profiles on every machine a user logs into. Roaming profiles copy the profile to and from the server on every logon/logoff.įolder redirection points the profile folders to a share.
