[THIN] Re: Roaming Profile

Correct.
 
So for example, you have 2 groups of servers - Live and Dev.  You want
users to have different profiles when they log into dev servers.
 
Each user would have their TS profile path set on their account to be
\\server1\profiles\%username%.
 
When they log into a live server, they get their TS profile from
\\server1.
 
I would create an OU for the Dev servers, move the dev servers into it.
 
Then I would create a GPO, link it to the Dev servers OU.
 
In that GPO, set the value of 'Set path for TS roaming profiles' to
\\server2\devprofiles\%username%
 
 
Thus, when a user logs onto a live server, they get their profile from
server1.  When they log onto a Dev server, their profile comes from
server2.

Set that, then apply only to the servers you want to be different?

Never heard of that but I'd be interested if anyone knows if that is in
fact an option

I have been told you can have roaming profiles, then you can have
servers where the roaming profiles are pointed, for each user, to a
different location.

 

Is this an option?

 

The reason, we are bringing up a new zone, single ERP application,
hosted offsite, and do not want to copy our current roaming profiles
across the WAN, to the offsite servers, so we want those server to get
roaming profiles for the users from a local server.
