Folder Rediretions on Wan Links

Hi Newsgroup!

I have a problem with Folder Redirections on a Windows Terminal
Server 2008 SP2.
We have Users in more than 5 Sites around the World (1 Domain)
and are using WAN Connections.

Our Users will receive a home folder through AD called Y: with a
to Path \\servername\users\username
(Each Site has his own fileserver)

Now we are using Folder Redirections through GPO to redirect
MyDouments to the Homepath folder.
But Users over a WAN Connection, has problems with programs
that using mydocument folder as default to make
PDF Conversions and so it takes about 3 Minutes to make
a PDF Report (normal 10 Seconds).


Now we want to redirect the folder to our Fileserver here,
to speed up things.
But If we make a redirect to “Create a folder for each user…”
with a path \\ourfileserver\redirection
it will destroy the user folder and Y: is not working anymore.
And Users need their home folder for work.

How can we use mydocument redirects with a user home folder
from AD?
We want to avoid using Login Scripts and are searching for a better solution
for this?


Best Regards
Remover

 

Hi!

The AD setting for home folder redirection is the TS specific setting (in
user properties/TS Profiles atab) or the regular setting is profiles tab?

Thanks,
Geanina
