Hi Dave,
One of the heaviest "users" of the app data folder is autocompletion.
Provided the office recent file list is kept pruned the usage is quite
tolerable.
With the exception of the desktop folder when users drop their files on to
the desktop, application data is the greatest contributor to profile size
and should be a prime candidate for redirection.
Regards,
Rick

One tip is to not redirect the "Application Data" folder to a network share.
It is heavily used by Windows while a user is logged on, so it should be
left local. We redirected that folder in one farm and had major latency
issues.

Well, that is how it's setup already. But, it appears that when you do
Desktop folder redirection, it "blocks" the All Users desktop from applying
any icons there.

Chris:
Within my company, we do folder redirection for users to a selected folders,
not the whole caboodle. We don't redirect to a "All Users desktop", but
this may help.
Within one GPO, we send users to a desktop folder for basic setup and
information. Depending on what group the user is a member of, we are send
them to a group's desktop folder for desktop settings.
The location for the GPO settings is:
Users Configuration \ Windows Setting \ Folder Redirection
And we send the user to this location:
\\ servername\userdesktops\(group's desktop)
Within a different GPO, we have other users that have folder redirection to
their own desktop and other folders. The GPO settings is the same above,
with the location settings below:
\\ servername\users\%username%\application data \\
servername\users\%username%\desktop
\\ servername\users\%username%\My Documents
We also have the users on with roaming profiles.
It may or may not be most efficient way of doing things with the above
settings, but it does work.
Hope this helps.
Keith

Anyone have success with the following requirements:
* Must have common icons on a common desktop
* Users must be able to customize their desktop
I was hoping that if I put the required icons on the AllUsers Desktop and do
Desktop folder redirection, that would work. But, it appears that when
enabling Desktop folder redirection, it disables the AllUsers Desktop
folder.
Also, I'm not looking for a 3rd party utility, and scripting might take too
long to develop.
Thanks,
Chris
