Sorry, I see what you mean now. I'm not sure what would happen once a policy was implemented. Application Data from the first profile would get redirected, then I would assume that Application Data from any additional profiles would attempt to overwrite anything if it already existed. That would eventually cause some problems if that was the case, so I see your concern. You might consider doing a combination of both folder redirection and a Roaming Profile. For instance, redirect My Documents to a folder outside of the roaming profile, but allow everything else (Application Data, Desktop, Start Menu, etc) to roam. This gives you the portability you want but also minimizes network traffic when the user profile is synched.

We currently have Citrix users with redirected desktops, which has proved to be successful thus far. So we are trying to implement a folder redirection plan for our workstation users On Dec 13, 2007 2:48 PM, Nelson, Jamie R Contr 72 CS/SCBAF < Jamie.Nelson.ctr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Jamie.Nelson.ctr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: 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.

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.
