Outlook take time on roaming profile network

Dear All,
W have a network here of almost 100 clients. All the users have roaming profiles with hot desk... The problem is when any user logs on on different machines, it takes ages to load their outlook. I need the best solution to cop out this issue becasue users
get really frustrated. We are using Outlook 2010.
Thnaks,

Hi zeeali,
According to your description, my understanding is that Outlook 2010 takes a loog time to load roaming profile.
Synchronizing the local and network copies would slow down Windows startup and shutdown considerably.

  • Outlook 2010 - IMAP and Roaming Profiles

    Hello,
    If we setup a roaming profile user with an IMAP account in Outlook 2010 everything works on the machine the account was created on. If the user logs off and uses another machine they get the following message when trying to send an email:
    "Task '*Email Address* - Sending' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'Outlook data file cannot be accessed.'
    They are able to receive email without an issue.
    I've seen other people report the same problem but with no fix reported. I wonder if anyone had made any progress on this.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I have come up with a temporary solution. I say temporary because it involves redirecting the pst files to a network share, which is not recommended by MS.  That said, our users have not had any issues with their personal/archive
    pst files being on a network share as long as the PC they are working is local to the network share, i.e. in the same building on the same local network.
    We have several users that share systems, some physical, some virtual, set up with roaming profiles.  We ran into the situation described above when one of the users needed to access a gmail account via Outlook 2010.  Along with roaming profiles,
    the users are in a GPO which enforces folder redirection, so the server share was already set up..
    \\ServerName\GPO_Redirect\%username%
    I added the Outlook2010 ADM (outlk14.adm) to the GPO, and enabled... "User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Outlook 2010/Miscellaneous/PST Settings/Default location for PST files" ...and set the value to \\ServerName\GPO_Redirect\%username%\OutlookPSTRedirect
    I had to remove the existing IMAP account from Outlook and readd it. Doing so created the "OutlookPSTRedirect" folder automatically under the user's network share and the [email protected] file was created there. Everything seems to be working fine
    after multiple logoffs and logons to different systems. No (2), (3), (4), etc. file versions are being created, messages do not get stuck in the outbox, folder view settings are remembered, etc., etc.
    Apparently you can also set the "ForcePSTPath" registry value manually, but I have not tested that.

  • Roaming profiles on network

    Hi all!
    Ok, so first the problem (it is on our school network, and im
    currently helping the admins with something:
    There are 1500+ users on the school network, and 800 of them
    are required to create an "E-portfolio" in dreamweaver, for our IT
    course.
    When a user configures dreamweaver it creates a configuration
    file in the users profile "c:\Documents and
    Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
    MX\Configuration" however, with everyone having a roaming profile
    (and static profiles would be out of the question) when users log
    on, it has to drag a 20meg file from the server to the root
    directory of the computer the user has logged on to. Now although
    20meg isn't very big, when 150 users are all login on at the same
    time, it can take ages to log on.
    Now our original idea was to just get rid of this
    configuration file, and see what it affected - however it gets rid
    of all defined sites, and also how you configure your window in
    dreamweaver - so this is out of the question.
    So my question is - "Is there anyway the we can reduce the
    file size, or have a "shared" configuration file, so that it just
    saves the defined sites on the user profiles?"

    If the E-portfolios are allowed to have the same structure I
    think your time
    would be better spent designing this system with a Database
    backend and
    admin tool.
    This way a person can login to the admin tool and fill in
    whatever
    information they want and then click update. You could make
    this as simple
    or "cool" as you want. The benefit to this is that you can
    almost guarantee
    that it will always work and that a person will not upload
    something that
    breaks.
    Just a thought.

  • New domain, Roaming Profiles, Outlook 2010 gives error 'Your Outlook data file cannot be configured'.

    Hi there,
    I have recently setup a new domain, with a new domain controller and new exchange 2013 server.
    these are running on a cluster of 2 x hyper-v 2012r2 hosts. All VMs are running server 2012 r2.
    although I don't think that has any bearing on my issue.
    I have migrated all of my existing user machines to the new domain.
    We use roaming profiles.
    When a user logs into their PC for the first time, all is ok.
    when a user logs into a different machine (they log off of their first machine and then log into a second machine),
    they get the following error when opening outlook.
    'Your Outlook data file cannot be configured. C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected]'
    I can manually resolve this on each machine by doing one of the following.
    1. Before the user logs in, I log in as an administrator or browse to the pc from another machine create a folder in users called 'whatevertheuserssusernameis' (please note, I actually put in the user's username, ie OKIRWAN)
    when the user then logs in, their profile is created in %username%.domain instead of %username%.
    I believe this is the route of the problem, as when we added the new machines to the domain, and they logged in for the first time to their 'usual machine', there was already a folder in users with their username, so when we added to the new domain and logged
    in for the first time, it created a new folder called %username%.domain, however when the user logs into a pc they never have logged into before, it creates their profile in %username% but their roaming profile is looking for their OST in C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected].
    2. My second way around this is to go to control panel and mail and remove and recreate the users outlook profile.
    As I have 100 users, who move to various different machines, these manual options are not really viable.
    I have tried redirecting the OST file to c:\OST via group policy, this did not resolve the issue.
    All users are local admins on their machines.
    if I open outlook as administrator then it loads ok and creates the OST file in C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected].
    however if I close outlook and open it again without running as administrator I get the following error.
    File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected]. (even administrators on that PC have full access to that folder).
    All users are running outlook 2010.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind Regards
    Owen

  • Problem sending mail with roaming profile (Outlook 2010)

    Hello all,
    I hope you will be able to help me.
    Here's the problem I have with Outlook 2010:
    When a user opens a roaming profile on another
    PC or on his new
    PC, everything works perfectly except
    Outlook.
    Outlook opens normally with all email
    accounts, you can even see the email, no worries
    about that.
    But when we want to send an email, it
    gets stuck in the outbox.
    Some additional info:
         - In the account settings,
    you can test the account settings, it says
    that everything is working (sending and receiving)
         - The only way I found today to
    operate the account is to
    completely remove and reconfigure
         - There is an error message
    that says I can not write on the file C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\accountName.pst
         - The problem occurs with
    all users, not just one in particular
         - The accounts are IMAP
         - Incoming emails work
    Thank you for your help.

  • App-v 5.0 sp3 Publish application icons/ shourtcut missed on 2nd time logon on terminal server 2012 r2 with roaming profile with folder redirection

    1. I updated app-v 5.0 sp3 environment on 2012 R2. Roaming profile users with folder redirection logon fine at first time applications icons available but at 2nd logon applicaitons icons are missed while packages are available. we are using existing
    roaming profiles with folder redirection which are running in current environment through APP-V 4.6 2008 R2. Please suggest work around to resolve this issue.
    2. TS Nodes of 2008 R2 with App-v 4.6 running fine on Microsoft 2012 private cloud but we are facing performance issue (stuck, slow logon, slow performance etc) when we are moving in new 2012 R2 private cloud. SAP, SCSM and other sevices are running
    fine, please provide solution.
    Thanks

    1.) What are you doing with the App-V Icon path? e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\<GUID>\Root\AppVClientUX.exe.0.ico ?
    I guess you could workaround it with deploying the icons to a central location and then pointing to the icon out on a central share. Or put the icons in a machine location...I haven't had this issue but that's just off the top of my head.
    2.) I have not used App-V 4.6 in an environment like yours BUT would pre-caching the applications be possible? Any chance you'll be moving those apps into App-V 5.0 soon?

  • Roaming Profile is roaming AppData\Local and AppData\LocalLow including Outlook OST file

    Hi everyone.
    Well my problem with Roaming Profiles here is the AppData\Local and AppData\LocalLow directories are roaming when I believe they should not. I see these folders are kept from roaming by default within the policy. I am concerned
    because within the Local directory are the OST files. Some are large and I do not want them to roam. I can trick the workstation and configure Outlook to Online mode only and that works but what about all the other directories within Local and LocalLow?
    I suspect since we had XP previous to 7, the old folder structure may still be in effect somewhere but am not certain. Others I’ve spoken with have seen this behavior but I have not seen a solution quite yet.
    This post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/1c618a22-b48a-43ca-81cc-64836c058207/appdatalocal-and-locallow-following-roaming-profile?forum=winserverGP) is close
    to my problem but the reason it does not help me is I have created test new test users that have never had Windows XP and started out as new Win7 images. I placed the new users in a particular OU and applied a new folder redirection policy to that OU. There
    is still a Default Domain Policy in effect for the entire forest but there is nothing in there (that I can see) redirecting any folders. The new policy I linked to the new OU redirects a few folders (music, pictures, desktop) to c:\temp so those do not roam.
    Everything works fine except the AppData\local and AppData\LocalLow directories are roaming. The registry entry referenced in the above post shows everything to be fine, yet the
    the AppData\local and AppData\LocalLow directories still roam.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    and under ExcludeProfileDirs, type REG_SZ, the value is
    AppData\Local;AppData\LocalLow;$Recycle.Bin
    So now I am stuck. I will scour the Default Domain Policy again but quite frankly, there isn't much in there. Anyone have any other suggestions
    as to what to look for in this case?
    Thanks!

  • Outlook 2010 with roaming profiles

    Good day,
    I have a user who uses Outlook 2010 and she wants to be able to use it on more than one computer. The problem is that when she goes to the new computer it asks her to set up her email account again (with the startup wizard).
    Our users have roaming profiles, all the computers are part of a Windows Server 2008 domain, etc. The user has had the account set up for her on the computer she usally uses. The account is connecting to a Exchange Live 2010 server on the
    Live@Edu service.
    I know Outlook doesn't roam all the user's data but I would have thought with Exchange accounts that at least it would be possible to roam the user's Outlook settings because they don't rely on a locally stored PST file.

    So are you saying the: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Setup 
    should be the same on all the computers, and
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Setup
     should be the Current user of each, so user 1 would be the same on all computer and user 2 would be  would be the same on each but different than user 1 
    Right?
    where would it grab the pst from..
    please help

  • Roaming profiles not working from time to time

    We have 6 Terminal servers and at random on the servers and at random with the users, the roaming profile will not be delete after the users log off.
    The folder that remains in the user folder, this folder however is empty, not even hidden folders or files are present: C:\Users\"username"\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
    What we have tried is to run a log off script that has following in it "net stop CryptSvc" but this also does not work. We have had 6 users again today that had the problem. All on different servers.
    We can manually delete the users folders without any problems when the problem occurs but this is not something that we would like to do every day.
    I see a lot of similar problems but nowhere a real solution for this.

    The entry in that registry key remains indeed there. Is it safe to just remove that registry key when the user is no longer logged into that specific server?
    The KB that you have send me is with the following explanation:
    Notes
    This issue occurs when the Windows Search service is enabled.
    When this issue occurs, the registry subkey that represents the stale user profile is deleted. This subkey appears in the following location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    But we do not have the Windows Search service installed nor is it enabled in the services list? But the subkey does remain in the registry.

  • Default Network Printer With Roaming Profile

    I have one user, only one out of 50+, whose roaming profile keep changing the default printer upon log in. I have verified that it is her profile, not her computer, as when I log in to a different computer the same issue happens. I have verified her
    roaming profile is uploading the registry key for the default printer correctly so I know that is correct. The problem is with the default printer being a network printer.
    To explain better lets say she has 2 local printers, Local1 and Local2, and 2 networked printers, Network1 and Network2. If she has Local1 set as default, log off and log on, Local1 is still the default. In the same way if Local2 is the default, log off
    and log on, Local2 is still the default. If either Network1 or Network2 are set as default, log off, check the ntuser.dat hive and ensure that the registry key still states that Network1 is the defaulter, log on, and Local1 is now the default. I assume there
    must be something in her profile that is forcing the local printers to default rather than the networks. 
    The local printers not not physical printers but rather virtual such as Adobe PDF Converter or Send to One Note. If I remove all these local printers, set Network1 as default, log out and in, then Network1 is the default rather than no default. So I know
    it isn't the fact that the profile is not connecting to the network. The problem is the user uses those virtual printers so they need to be installed.
    There is only one user that has this problem so I assume it is a setting/registry key that is causing the roaming profile to pick a local printer rather than what is stored as default. 
    We do not use GPP to push printers so I cannot edit a GPO for this users and set her default that way. I need Windows to be able to natively set the printer, without log in scripts or anything of the sort.
    Does anyone have a clue what would cause this? If I can explain better or provide any more information please let me know.

    Hi,
    This problem caused by Registry key problem, you can access to the path below and clear all the subkey of the registry:
    HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Connections
    HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Settings key
    Note: to identify the User SID, please follow the steps below:
    Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \ProfileList
    Under the ProfileList key, you will see the SIDs. By selecting each one individually, you can look at the value entry and see what user name is associated with that particular SID.
    After remove all the subkey, restart your computer to check the problem.

  • How to Create Roaming Profile(s) For Windows Workgroups

    This Tutorial Shows how to create roaming profile(s) for Windows Workgroups.
    Here are the steps in order to do this:
    On the host PC:
    1. Goto 'Folder Options'>'View' and un-tick 'Use Simple File Sharing'.
    2. Goto Network Connections and right click on the 'Local Area Connection' (Ethernet recommended)
    3. Goto Properties>General, and tick 'File and Printer Sharing'.
    Click Apply + Ok.
    4. Goto Control Panel>User Accounts, add a new user.
    5. Logon to this user, and open the profile folder properties.
    5b. Share this folder.
    6. Make the Share permissions so that 'everyone' has: Full Control, Read, Change.
    Click Apply + Ok.
    7. Click on 'Caching' and disable Caching for this Share.
    Click Ok.
    8. Now goto the 'Security' tab and give 'Administrator' and 'SYSTEM' 'Full Control'.
    Click Apply + Ok.
    On the remote PC(s):
    1. Make the same User as on the Host.
    1b.Logon to the account and log back out again. Delete the profile folder from 'Documents and Settings'.
    3. Give 'SYSTEM': 'Read','Read and Execute','List Folder Contents' to the 'Administrators' Profile
    4. Type 'lusrmgr.msc' into run, goto: 'Users', double click on the new user and goto the 'Profile' tab.
    4b. In the 'Profile Path' box, type \\hostPCname\ProfileName.
    Click Apply + Ok
    *Note* Replace the \\path\ accordingly to what names are on your Host PC.
    5. Goto regedit>HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. Double click
    on 'ProfileList'.
    Find which key is for the new user. (Example S-1-5-21-58435627-18431725-18026167-1003)
    6. Right click that key and goto: 'Permissions' and give 'SYSTEM' 'read'.
    *Note* Once you logon to the roaming profile from the remote PC for the first time you can undo this step.
    7. goto GPEdit>Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles:
    Enable these settings:
    'Do not check for user ownership of roaming profile folders'
    'Delete cached copies of roaming profiles'
    'Log users off when roaming profile fails'
    "Add the Administrators security group to roaming profiles'
    'Prevent roaming profile changes from propagating to the server'
    7b. Make 'Timeout for dialog boxes' '1' (seconds)
    8. goto: Computer Configuration/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options:
    Make 'Number of previous logons to cache (if server is unavailable) '0'
    Now you're ready to login to the Profile on the remote PC.
    *Note* Sometimes, when windows loads it takes a minute for the profile folder to become shared again.
    Thanks for reading.

  • Changing backup location to prevent bloated roaming profile

    In Windows 7 and Vista, iTunes backs up the iPhone to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup which is part of the roaming profile. This bloats the roaming profile from around 100MB to over 2.5GB, making it very slow to log on and log off the PC, as the roaming profile is synchronised each time over the network with the copy on the server. How can I make iTunes use a location that is stored locally only, for example somewhere within C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer? This problem also occurs on Windows XP, just with different file locations.

    While it doesn't seem possible to change the location used by iTunes for the backup it may be feasible to redirect the data to another folder using a junction. Install NTFS Link. Move the folder *<Profiles>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup* to another location, then create an empty folder called Backup in *<Profiles>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync* and use NTFS Link to create the junction.
    I've tested it out just now moving my backup folder into C:\iTunes\Backup and iTunes behaved normally during a sync of my iPhone, I'm just moving the folder to an external drive to prove it still works properly when the link is to a different drive but the move is going to take an hour! Lots & lots of tiny files... What is not so clear is how the roaming profile behaves when it meets the junction. If it backs up the link rather than following it through to the data at the other end then you should get the behaviour you are after. Test it and see.

    But my question is how can i backup data for this user from my ADS Server  for roaming profile?
    Thanks & Best Regards,

    Hi,
    You can use Group Policy to enforce limits to the size of roaming profiles. It seems that the size of the roaming profiles exceeded the size in the policy setting. Windows does not synchronize the user's profile to the profile server when it exceeds the policy
    enabled limit. 
    You could increase the size use the Limit profile size policy setting. This increase causes delays in user logons, because it takes some time for Windows to copy the information to the local computer.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:
