Shouldn't matter. That is the whole point of folder redirection. If
everything is working properly, Application Data will be written to the
redirected folder so you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I am personally am not fond of Folder Redirection; I've had very limited
success trying to use it in large environments. Even though full-blown
Roaming Profiles are equally bad (and worse in some cases), you might be
better off with them in my opinion.

If user profile portability is a big concern and money is not a problem,
you might consider looking into a combination of Terminal Services and
Windows XP Embedded. Thin clients are becoming increasingly popular
again for this sort of thing.

Subject: [gptalk] Roaming Profiles/ Folder redirection

Not sure if anyone knows of any good resources/ideas about Folder
Redirection.
We'd like to implement folder redirection for entire user profiles.
The biggest problem we see thus far is that our environment consists of
users with multiple PCs; therefore, some users may have 2 different sets
of Favorites, Application Data etc. 

If anyone can point me at some good resources on the internet or if
anyone has some insight that would be terrific.

Thanks
