Roaming Profiles and Remote servers

[PreviousPoster]

The way our network is setup most users are accessing a remote terminal server as part of their normal daily work. How do I keep the roaming profiles off of the terminal server?

When we have attempted to do roaming profiles in the past, they have played havick with the terminal servers.

Just looking into re-implementing roaming profiles to make PC deployment more streamlined and we would not have to utilize a syncing software on our laptops as the roaming profile would do this for us.

I think the group policy object setting you are looking for is the following:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Delete Cached Copies of Roaming Profiles

By enabling this setting on each of your terminal servers when a users logs off the cached copy of the roaming profile is removed. The network copy of the roaming profile will remain intact.

That policy setting is indeed useful for keeping the roaming profiles from mounting up on a Terminal Server

However, implementing roaming profiles for 'normal' machines (desktops, laptops) should not overlap with and affect TS use. You can configure TS to use separate profiles from the desktop logons anyway.
