Another folder redirection Question....

[aspenjim]

I want to implement this on a small domain as a test for a larger domain. Question is.... What is the difference between the Application data\local settings and the "stand alone" local settings directories? It seems according the the quote below and the diagram on the website, that \Application Data\Local Settings is the one without the users email data.

quoting the above mentioned website...

You can’t redirect every folder in a user’s profile, but you can redirect the ones that tend to be the largest and take the longest to copy each time a user logs in or out. The folders that you can redirect are Application Data, Desktop, My Documents, and Start Menu.

the main thing I want to be sure of is the email settings (either outlook or outlook express) gets in the right place on a server, so the roaming users can access all of their email. When I look in the directories of \Application dat\local settings the *.pst file or the *.dbx files aren't there, but they are in the local settings directory (the one not associated with Application data).

My goals is that some users who share PC's always have access to their email, doc's, favorites and desktops on what ever PC they may logon to. A second and related question is most of the users have their own pcs, in which I don't want to implement folder redirection with (just yet). How do I accomplish that? I assume by putting the "roamers" into a different group, but I'm not exactly sure of how to do that.

Again I want to test this on a small 5 PC domain, before I attempt it on the 35 PC domain w/ 50+ users.

referencing the larger domain, I get tired of setting up the same emails on several PC's and "leave a copy of the mail on the server". In the case of Outlook express, they never have access to their sent mail, unless they are on the PC that they sent it on"
