Hi Berny,
I guess the first comment which is fairly obvious is that TS and normal
workstation logins can have totally different profiles, home drives etc for the
same user. So it could just be screwed up TS profile settings.
However in your case it sounds more like the users are having some profile
load/unlaod issues because a reference to %systemroot% favorites should only be
seen if you're operating with the system default user profile.
I'd be tempted to have a look at the event log for login errors, and to check
out the user profile type (local roaming temporary) as well. It's fairly
unlikely that that you'll be seeing this stuff in a "standard" roaming profile.
regards,
Rick

Umm, I can't find a thing on the 'net about this.
I have been hunting around, but maybe you can shed some light on it...
I thought it was terminal server compatability, as previously I have had issues
over slow links regarding access to win.ini and system.ini references in user's
profile paths. These references when looking in filemon were referring to
%systemroot%\win.ini etc then referring to %homedrive%\windows\win.ini
In my instance, I am seeing references to %systemroot%\favorites and then got a
reference to %systemroot%\windows\favorites. My only problem is I can't find a
reference to terminal server compatability for this folder.
I would have thought that favorites would have been part of the user profile,
so it should have been looking in %USERPROFILE%\favorites but it's not looking
there at all, there has to be something redirecting it to %HOMEDRIVE%. I just
can't see what it is... There is nothing in the registry for User Shell Folders
that would indicate to me what it would be.
Can anyone tell me why it might be looking there? As stated in the previous
email, I don't have a GPO in place at the moment. Or login script is 8 lines
mapping drives and that's it.
Berny

Heya,
At the moment, we have a couple of users who are accessing their favourites in
a TS session, with Terminal Server Compatability, this should therefore be
resolving to their <homedrive>\windows\favorites
For some reason though, for a couple of users TS Compatability is resolving to
<homedrive>\<username>\windows\favorites.
Any ideas?
I have worked around the issue by changing
HKCU\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites.
I was thinking of a GPO to fix it, but in all honesty, I would prefer to leave
the GPO out of it, and fix Terminal Server Compatability.
Berny
