I sent an e-mail to the guy that wrote the preso. Here is his response...
"While it's technically possible to redirect the "Desktop" folder, you
should really only redirect this across the network if it's actually
necessary. Since the "Desktop" folder corresponds to the actual user's
desktop, redirecting it means that the user's desktop is a view to a remote
network drive. The problem with this is that as long as the desktop is
visible in the session, Windows will continuously refresh the contents of
the desktop across the network. This doesn't affect anything in single
server environments, but it has the potential to add unneeded traffic to
your network when a Terminal Server is full of users whose desktops are
redirected."
I never actually thought of that.
Kind regards,
Jeremy

I have the same question because If you look at the Flex Profile
Documentatin it sugests that you do redirect the Desktop to the home
folder. I thought I remember that It might be a network issue but that
might of been a NT or 2000 issue. My question is this still an issue
with 2003? help anyone?
