We have and RDS cluster everythings is working fine.
We use roaming profiles, redirection to a share is working as well.
When a user logs on to any RDS node we can see a user folder appear in E:\Users\ of the RDS Server.
When I checked the registry, and i can see 2 keys about profiles :
– you can see that the redirection is OK : Centralprofile (in my exemple \\Sharename\…)
– you can see a ProfileImagePath to E:\Users
So what is :
– A ProfileImagePath ?
– A CentralProfile ?
E:\Users\<username> is the local cache of the roaming profile. I’ve never seen a setting to avoid caching of the profile on the local system entirely.
There is a group policy setting to automatically delete the cached copy upon user logout. It’s under Computer Configuation->Policies->Administrative Templates->System->UserProfiles->Delete cached copies of roaming profiles.
Plus side : This avoids disk space from caching the users profiles
Down side
It will probably increase the logon time as the full profile will have to copy every time.
When testing, this also cleared out the cache from a custom application which didnt right back to the roaming profile.
