Answered Roaming Profiles on DFS

    We have the roaming profiles set on the DFS. By design we also use folder redirection that uses a share in the DFS.
    We enabled the flag in the GPO that not give path to the DFS out of the site.

    Folder redirection are not working correctly so we want to understand why.

    Folder redirection are not working correctly

    I would like to know that it means folders could not be redirected to the folder target in DFS namespace, or users cannot get correct folder after Folder Redirection is set (and maybe they will get a temp profile instead).

    Meanwhile I think we do not need to set both roaming profile and folder redirection. In Windows 2008 R2 we could redirect almost everything so that Folder Redirection should be enough.

    Here is a similar thread which discussed roaming profile on DFS.
