Roaming Profiles using DFS? - is it possible?

Hi,
Has anyone ever used DFS replication for roaming profiles? Is it possible to specify a namespace for a roaming profle path?
The dilema I have is that several users work between 2 sites at the moment. Sites are connected via VPN, but only a standard ADSL line is used due to the size of the Organisaton and costs etc.
I've already set profile size restrictions, but there can still be a lengthy delay pulling the profile and caching between sites. I've already managed to replicate the company filestore, so data access should be significantly improved.
The problem now is logon etc. I did think about redirection, but clients are still XP so less group policy options.
Using Server 2008 Std R2 at each site with XP client.
Really just looking for other engineers experiences / ideas for this kind of problem. What have other people created in this situation? I'm thinking more towards the re-direction of profile data and possible replicating that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hello Hozzie,
· Generally speaking, using DFSR to replicate user roaming profiles isn't a good idea. This will cause some potential inconsistent issue.
Let's assume that we have two servers FileSrv1 and FileSrv2 that will host profiles. You setup DFSR to replicate profiles between the two machines.
Now let's imagine the following scenario:
1) A user logs into their desktop, which downloads its profile from FileSrv1.
2) The user makes changes to their profile and logs out.
3) The changes are written back to FileSrv1
4) DFSR sees the changes and begins replicating them to FileSrv2
5) The user logs into their laptop, which downloads its profile from FileSrv2
6) Since DFSR hasn't finished replicating the changes on FileSrv1 to FileSrv2, the user just receives a partially modified profile on their laptop
Even more will be confusing to the client user would be the following scenario:
1) A user logs into their desktop, which downloads its profile from FileSrv1
2) The user makes some changes to their profile on the desktop
3) The user logs into their laptop, which downloads its profile from FileSrv2
4) The user makes some changes to their profile on the laptop
5) The user logs out of both machines. Changes are written back to both FileSrv1 and FileSrv2.
6) DFSR begins replicating and detects conflicts. Its conflict resolution algorithm applies the last-writer wins policy
7) The profile that ends up on FileSrv1 and FileSrv2 is combination of the changes made from both machines, but may be internally inconsistent if configuration settings are stored across multiple files.
Therefore, we don’t recommend you use DFSR to replicate Roaming profile in the case.
Hope this can be helpful for you.

David Shen

Internet Explorer 10 and 11 not saving cookies when Roaming Profile used.

Hi,
We are using Citrix Xenapp 6.5 with roaming profile and IE9.
I have tried to upgrade to IE10 and IE11 on a test Xenapp server, when we log off Windows and log back on again any website settings stored in cookies were lost.
The cookies is stored in the roaming part of the profile. New in IE10 is the webcache file database that keeps track of cookie stored in the profile
AppData\Local folder gets deleted when you log off, if you have a roaming profile, and when you log on again all coockies are rewritten. Same problem with IE11.

Hi,
Here is a workaround to make cookies work is to set a Group Policy Preference to set the registry value, please see detailed instructions in the following link

It is Possible to Migrate Local User Profile to Roaming Profile Using USMT?

Dear All,
1st, I'm following guide at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142682 to copy user profiles to another user, but the problem is the 'Copy to' button is not active (grey). I try
using 3rd party tools, still no change.
2nd, I try to transfer local profile on the same machine and different user using Windows Easy Transfer, it's work and all of data has been restore to a new user. But not all App Settings is restored, when I open Outlook 2010 and Windows
Live Mail, there's need to enter password again. That is not problem for me.
3rd, After migrate/transfer (2nd step) I want to migrate from local profile to roaming profile, but user profile setting on local profile is not copied to roaming profile, such as Email setting need to create new account but all data is
not problem, because I have already configure on ADUC and GPMC.
My question is:
1. How to copy or move all Application settings on AppData Local folder to roaming profile?
2. How about USMT, it is possible to migrate user profile settings from local to roaming? if is the best tools, how to do this?
Please, advice...
Thanks,
Hendra

First, I dont understand why you're using the copy profile method. I'll make the assumption that you have a domain user account that you you need it's files and settings moving to another machine.
In that scenario then there's a simple guide here:
Migrate User Accounts
For Roaming Profiles and Redirected folders; you can follow the
Infrastructure Planning and Design (IPD) Guide for Windows User State Virtualization (USV).
It sounds like a mouthfull but it actually makes the whole process easy. There's also a video
here.

Issue with offline availability of roaming profiles in Server 2012

I've recently stood up a Windows 2012 R2 server. I set up folder redirection using the guidelines
here and roaming profiles using Group Policy. All is well except for the fact that if the client is physically disconnected from the network then the profile isn't available.
I've set up folder redirection/roaming profiles on many different version of Windows Server and this is the first time I can remember that the files weren't available offline without further intervention from me. Is there some new setting or default on 2012
R2 that I'm running afoul of?
I note the following screen on the share properties but don't want to go at it until I know more
Location of image in case of no display
Sunt ludi et ioci dum aliquis oculo nocet.

Shaon,
No problem at all, I'm delighted that someone is answering at all! :-)
The answers to your points/questions are as follows:
1. The issue persists after a reboot
2. All computers in the OU are experiencing this issue along with all users affected by these group policy items
3. There is only one group policy applied here and in relation to the three items you've mentioned:
Action on server disconnect [Not configured]
Non-default server disconnect actions [Not configured]
Do not automatically make redirected folders available offline [Not visible]
All the relevant group policy objects (on the server) are at their default "Not configured" value. I've filtered by Windows 7 and Windows 8 as I have nothing below that. I've checked both locations viz.:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
The same is true for Local Computer Policy, all are set to "Not configured". In Explorer on the client under the Easy Access option all of the salient settings are greyed out.

Alternatives to using Zenworks for Roaming Profiles

Novell support tells me I should be using a dedicated Server for Zenworks
This would be a real over kill!
So, are there any alternatives to using Zenworks for Roaming profiles?
Googeling I see SAMBA can support Roaming Profiles
Samba is installed & I created Samba users via SBE Admin but when I select
Samba Administration - seems to be no details ie. users, workgroup name etc?
Is Novell Samba differently?
Is it possible setup Roaming Profiles with Novell Samba?

I'm gonna attempt this with a couple of scripts - (one added to login script
& the other at shutdown)
to copy Desktop & Favorites - already told users they will be shot if the
they put files in my docs!
(It would be nice to do Desktop Colour / Image etc so the user feels at home
but...)

How to set up roaming profile on Macs using AD like in windows

I can bind the workstations to the domain fine.. But can someone direct me to instructions of how to set up the roaming profiles ?
What steps do I need on the server ? This is what I've done so far.
I already have OU's for the departments and the users have a shared folder inside their department folder.... \\server\shared_folder\user
I have done the usual things with AD as far as the profile settings on the windows server.
Am currently running Mac OS 10.5 and above
My windows AD runs on windows server 2008
All my windows workstation are able to use roaming profile without a problem.
So far i have tried the so many avenues including..
Make sure the Mac systems are joined to the domain controller and an ADS user can log on successfully. Use "Directory Utility" under "Utilities" menu to join the system to the domain.
Backup all the contents from /Users to the storage or somewhere locally.
Configure automount - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Mounts" tab and add automount as mentioned below. Remote NFS URL: nfs://server_name/share_name/path/to/profile/directory Mount location: /Users Additional mount parameters: -P,-T Apply the settings and this will mount the remote shared folder or we can name it as Roaming Profile Space - under /Users directory
Enable roaming profile - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Services" -> Select "Active Directory" and click "Show advanced option" - Click "User experience" tab and select the option "Create mobile account at login".
Reboot the system and log in as any ADS user. The Roaming shared folder will be mounted and the user profile will be created on the shared folder
Can anyone kindly assist me

Hi Guys, anyone with the Soln...or Tips..Am waiting

How do I use long path names ("\\?\UNC\...") with Server 2008 roaming profiles?

Hey folks!
I administrate a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Domain with about 40 users on
Windows 7 SP1 clients. Because the users often switch between the many PCs, I am using Roaming Profiles which tend to produce errors with different application-specific paths and files inside the users profiles.
As one of many example, our standard mail application Thunderbird produces paths and files according to folders/subfolders and mails in a user's mailbox. Another one is Microsoft Office's Auto Recovery files which reside in a user's profile and can
get very long.
These paths and filenames often extend the allowed max. path of about 256 characters, when (on log on or off) the synchronization process between the client and the server takes place, leading to errors in the event log and a notification to the user about
the conflict:
"Event ID 1509 - Windows cannot copy file \\server\share\users\user123.v2\AppData\Roaming\looooong to location C:\Users\user123\AppData\Roaming\looooong. DETAIL - The filename or extension is too long."
In the long run this leads to different file versions on different clients which - in the case of Thunderbird - leads to missing mails.
After extensive searches and lectures of forums - including this - I haven't found a solution for this problem.
So my question is if there's a way to use the extended max path with roaming profiles and if so how do I get it to work?
I tried changing the profile path of a test user in the Active Directory user preferences from "\\server\share\profiles\test_user" to something like "\\?\UNC\server\share\profiles\test_user" without any changes in the system's behavior.
Also I think that because this is such a fundamental problem somebody must have come up with a solution for it...
Thanks in advance,
Nico

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
The Event 1509 can happen if the destination path of the users profile is on a server with a long name and share folder name. For detail information, please refer to:
User profile cannot be loaded with Event ID 1509, DETAIL - The filename or extension is too long

File Associations in 2012 R2 RDS Server using Roaming Profiles

Background Information
We recently moved from using 2008 R2 RDS servers to 2012 R2 RDS Servers. All of our users
have roaming profiles. When we migrated from the old terminal servers to the
new terminal servers, the users got completely new profiles. The only thing
moved from their old profiles were documents and items on their desktops. We
have multiple PDF viewers/editors installed on our RDS servers. Mostly due to
the cost difference between Adobe Acrobat and other, cheaper products that a
lot of our users can get away with using that don't need the functionality of
Adobe Acrobat.
The Problem
Ever since moving to the new 2012 R2 RDS servers, whenever our users log off terminal
server, the next time they log in their default PDF Viewer association doesn't
load, and they have to go through the process of choosing a default PDF viewer.
This only occurs when there's more than one PDF viewer installed on the server.
We've tested it with only one PDF viewer program, and the setting remains after
logging off and back on. The problem we've found is that the registry key that
houses the default user choice:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
when set during the session, to Adobe Acrobat 11 for example, reads as such
inside that registry key. For example, the Progid key will say
Acrobat.Document.11 and this setting will persist until the user logs off. Upon
logging off and back on to the terminal servers, if you look at that same
Progid key, it has been converted in to a Hash value, and the Operating System
is unable to read the hashed value and determine what that user's default PDF
Viewer choice is, causing them to have to go through the process of setting it
again.
Things we've tried
We created a GPO that runs a script that exports the registry key upon log off that has
the non-hashed value, and have it set to import that value on log on. However,
by default this registry key has the DENY WRITE permission applied to it, so
when the system tries to import the registry key through the login script it is
unable to do so.
Summary
This issue only started happening once we moved over to 2012 R2 RDS servers. It only
occurs for users using Roaming Profiles. It only occurs when we have multiple
PDF Viewers installed on the servers. Any insight on why this is happening or
how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

I would use GPP to push the value, 'not hashed'. You can give right to the registry too, so like adding everyone group to that registry branch. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/cc753092.aspx)

Default Keyboard input change in using roaming Profile on different Win 7

We found a strange problem on default Keyboard setting.
We are using roaming profiles for all users.
One of our users is using two Windows 7. One Windows 7 is VDI for working out of office and another Win 7 is her local PC.
She is only using Two keyboard input: Chinese Traditional English and Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
Whenever she had used the Windows 7 VDI, when she comes back to office and use her local PC, the default Keyboard input will automatically change to Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
The user said she had not changed any default keyboard input in the VDI of local PC.
Is there anything we can do for this issue?

Roaming Profiles, FM9 and Acrobat Professional (9 and X) - Useful Info maybe to others

Just thought I would post this bit of information, which took me a long time to figure out and I still don't know why it happens.
Basically
Using FM9 (although have FM10 installed but cannot convert at the moment...not to mention...sigh...that a distributor sold that to us knowing that FM11 was about to be released!!!!!!!!!)
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit
Recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional X (although the same problem happened with Acrobat Pro 9).
Could not get FM to publish to PDF (that is, print to PDF). I could distill, but then I did not get the bookmarks I needed (I tried to find an easy answer to that question, but that was a dead end involving programming).
I have spent too much time on this issue
A while ago, I found that by disabling a roaming profile, or deleting the files in the Adobe folder in a roaming profile, seems to fix whatever problem the PDF printer was having generating a PDF.
Thought I would pass that on in case someone else find it useful.

Amanda,
As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

Windows 2012 RDP "resets" user settings while using Roaming Profiles

Last month we installed a RDP environment running a Windows 2012 DC and 2 Windows 2012 RDP servers. The RDP servers are running in a pool.
For the rest it's nothing fancy.
The problem is that user-settings are reset, most likely during logon. This only occurs when we use Roaming Profiles.
- We create a new user, in a container with no GPO's attached.
- This user gets a RP while logging on, no errors, at logoff the RP is written to it's correct folder.
- Logging on again. Now for example I make Chrome standard browser and change the program which opens JPG files.
- Logging off
- I check the NTUSER.DAT in the RP folder and the changes I made can be found in the file. So it has been saved to the NTUSER.DAT.
- Now I login again and check the settings I made. IE is standard browser again and the JPG setting is also back to standard.
- Logging off
- Checking the NTUSER.DAT in the RP folder and yes, everything is back to default.
Now the funny part is, when I create a user with a local profile, everything is working properly. Settings been saved.
It doesn't make a different what kind of user it is. Domain User, Domain Admin. They all have the same problems when using RP's.
No error messages in the Event Viewer.
I'm clearly unable to solve this problem. Hoping someone can help me on this one.
What makes the settings reset at logon while using Roaming Profiles?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you enable Cache copies option of roaming profiles?
This issue might occurs because the User Profile service does not load the terminal server roaming profile correctly after the user account password is reset.
When the Delete cache copies of roaming profiles Group Policy setting is enabled, and when a user is prompted to change the user account password, the User Profile service loads a local temporary user profile. The User Profile service loads this user profile
to perform the password reset operation. However, the profile changes to a combination of the local temporary profile and of the roaming profile after the user password is reset. Therefore, the terminal server roaming profile is not loaded correctly.
In addition, please try to delete the SID of the user from registry key and check the result. You can follow the below path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
More information:
You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message

Want to stop using roaming profiles

Not sure of the best forum to put this in, so sorry if it's in the wrong place...
I have nearly all my Windows XP users in a policy package being pushed out by Zen 6.5 (sp1, I believe). In that policy package, I have enabled roaming profiles. Now, I'd like to simply turn that off. What will be the ramifications of turning off roaming profiles in that policy package? What are the "gotchya's"?
Thanks!

Do you have volatile DLU setup for the users?
If so they will get the default user desktop on every login.

Best Practice for Roaming Profiles over Branch Offices

Hello Everybody,
I was hoping I could gain advice from experienced engineers on an issue me and my team are currently experiencing.
The issue:
We have a client that has their main office in London and this company has other remote offices over the world, Paris, Milan, Luxembourg etc.. Each remote office has a local DC&file server installed as two separate servers or both roles on the same
server. Everything is central to London, all the main file shares that the company uses is based in London and the terminal server's are based in London too.
We have DFS-R & N set up on the London File servers to replicate the dfs shares over the remote offices which works fine and we don't generally ever have any issues with this and works well when user's in remote offices access file shares from
London.
However and I didn't set this up but this client also has DFS-R & N set up for roaming profiles!!! The issue we are having here is only with the terminal servers. For example I will log in as one of the users from London on the terminal server and will
load the profile fine, I will log that user off and log in as the admin and remove the profile through advanced system settings. I will then log back on as that same user and will be given a temporary profile, I repeat the first step and the profile loads
fine, so every other log on will load the user with a temporary profile. I know this is the case because for that user, if I change the profile path in AD from
\\xxxx.com\public to
\\lon-fs3v\profiles$\user it then loads every time with no issues. Before anyone asks I have rebuilt the terminal server(s) to rule out if they were misconfigured. You may ask why not do that for everyone? We can't do that for people based in Milan otherwise
their profile will forever take time to load and that's where the dfs replication comes into play for the profiles.
Unfortunately they are a very stubborn client so some users (important people) have very large profiles which sometimes takes a while to load up.
I have done some reading already on the web and have seen the unsupported scenario from Microsoft regarding this (
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2533009 ) so unsure the best way to do it. The link I've put in does say you can have issues with the profiles loading (which we do) if there are too many
connections which we have 10 to replicate profiles around the remote offices.
I have done some reading into the hostedbranch cache method but not sure if you can do this with roaming profiles or not?
We generally want to eliminate the issue for users when logging on remotely with getting a temp profile every other log on attempt. I must add though this issue never occurs on the workstations just the terminal server, our client is in the private equity
market so one user may just spend one day in a remote office and then come back to London to carry on as they normally would.
So that's the background to the issue and I was generally trying to work out what methods or if this is possible with the branch cached method for roaming profiles ?
Thank you to anyone who replies.
Best,
Liam

Hi UC3ngineer,
Agree with Luca.
If the branch users need to do lot of conferencing, the best practice is to deploy an new Front End Pool and an Edge Server in Branch Office; Otherwise you must have a 100%
reliable WAN connection to your central site.
Best regards,
Eric

Windows Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012 R2: Hyper-V roaming profiles not loading due to slow connection

I have racked my brain and done everything that I know to do for about two weeks now. I am setting up a new system at our fire department and I am having the worst luck with getting the workstations to login to the domain controller with roaming
profiles. It keeps telling me that the roaming profile could not be loaded because of a slow connection. These are workstations that are connected directly to the switch that the DC is connected to. I have tried multiple connections regarding
the layout (DC into the router, router into the switch). The router is a Cisco RV220W. I have two VLANS, one for public and one for private domain. The Private VLAN has DHCP turned off since I am providing it through the DC. I currently
have a connection from the Private VLAN going to the unmanaged switch that the workstations and server are plugged into.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge R420 that has 6 NIC ports (1 dual port and 1 quad port). I have a virtual switch setup on Hyper-V for an external port (let's say Card 2 Port 3) that is assigned to the WS 2012R2 Domain Controller. The DC can see
the internet fine and the workstations can connect to the shared folders on the server. I can retrieve files by just using the computer name or FQDN. The DC is also running DNS and DHCP. The DNS has the _msdcs setup from when I installed
the active directory role. I have attempted to assign static IP addresses to the workstations:
IP:                     10.0.0.80
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:        10.0.0.12
I've attempted "append the specific DNS suffix", I've "registered the connection in DNS", I've used "use this connections suffix in DNS registration".
The server is assigned:
IP:                     10.0.0.12
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:         10.0.0.12
The DNS entries have forwarders that forward to my ISP DNS servers for lookup
I've enabled and disabled DHCP, I've installed a new VM just to create another DC to make sure that I didn't goof up when I created it.
I've lost my patience with this project and am sinking fast. Can someone please offer some advice as to what I've done wrong? I've created this exact scenario at work many times but, I've never done it with Windows Server 2012. Is this
possibly something to do with the Dell PowerEdge server (Generation 12) with the SR-IOV? I am going to attempt to work on it some more tomorrow when I get over there. I think there may be an issue with the SR-IOV not being enabled on the machine
through the Dell Bios. Would the SR-IOV really cause the workstations to report a slow connection? When I login at the domain controller the roaming profiles and folder redirection work fine so, I know the GPO settings are correct. I don't
have "ignore slow connections" or any of those GPO's set. I need to get it working the correct way so, I didn't want to fool the server when there is another underlying problem. Any help that someone can offer, I am more than willing
to listen. If you need more information, please ask.
Thanks,
Jay

So, I've managed to research this some more since Thursday and I've come to the conclusion that Hyper-V does a horrible job of supporting Qualcomm NIC cards. That's the only thing I can conclude as far as where the issue is originating. I've read many
post and walkthroughs but nothing that has helped. The issue wasn't with any settings in the domain controller. The issue was that there really is a slow connection originating at the domain controller that is a VM and has network connectivity through the
virtual switch from Hyper-V. So, next question is, how do I get the DC to have better connectivity through the NIC that Hyper-V won't give it? If hyper-v would allow passthrough, this would be so much simpler. VM-ware is looking really good at this point.
Im disappointed in MS right now.

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?
