I agree with Joe and Andrew, and second the "top banana storage and network
resources" statement J
Do not apply folder redirection for AppData, but use a profile management
solution that will "roam" it for you. Most solutions, such as UPM, AppSense
and Flex, will allow you to Include, Exclude, Copy, and Sync folders, so the
whole of AppData doesn't need to roam, unlike the traditional Microsoft
roaming profiles.
If I'm having to work without a profile management solution, I will use
logon and logoff scripts to import and export settings, which includes
copying parts of AppData to and from a location under the users home drive.
This is not a lot different than what the profile management solutions do.
Let's face it, how much of the AppData structure is really required to roam?
I typically say top 10-20 apps (which always includes Outlook) keeps the
users happy. The rest is just junk.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Indeed - redirected appdata means you better be damn sure you've top banana
storage and network resources to host the redirected files.

Hello,
You are confusing redirected folders with Roaming Profiles. AppData can be
roamed, if not redirected. Citrix CCS likes to redirect AppData but many of
us have spent hows debating this with them. I personally do not like
redirect AppData.
CCS likes it because it decreases log in time, but it decrease application
performance. I think the log in time point invalid considering the Citrix
UPM w/ streaming enabled takes care of that.

Hi,
OK so using UPM for the XenApp stuff and trying to redirect everything to
the same redirected folders apart from the start menu
Is it OK to redirect App Data for Physical desktops and published desktops,
As if a user makes a change at home they should still have it when they log
on to physical desktops
Is this a workable solution or can it cause issues
Thanks
Ronnie
