Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment, all virtual, and 1 component shy of proper functionality. This is strictly for use with RemoteApp, and there are no hosted VDIs.

I'm reusing a known working mandatory profile, but they are not being deleted after users are logged off by the system. My investigation has come to the following state:

1. All user profiles from system/advanced properties are shown as 'Local'.

2. HKLM\..\ProfileList\<sid>\CentralProfile = the UNC path specified in my GPO (with .v2 appended)

3. HKLM\..\ProfileList\<sid>\State = 518  ? .. unknown. what state this profile is in.

4. DelProf2 sees all profiles as 'Roaming Profiles' and is able to programatically detect and delete roaming profiles.

Now... I could certainly do a simple triggered task on Security event 4647 to run DelProf /r  ... but

Any ideas on why system advanced properties is showing these profiles as local, and why the GPO option would be failing to remove them on logoff? Specifically, GPO settings are

- System/User Profiles/Delete cached copies of roaming profiles = Enabled

- Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session host/Profiles/Set path... = UNC path of profile

- Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session host/Profiles/Use Mandatory profiles... = Enabled

Hi,

Please run GPresult.exe to confirm that group policy settings are applied.

Hi Amy,

Yes, the policy is being applied, and I did just find the issue though. Reading through all applied policies, and I found a default security policy that had set "System\User Profiles\Only allow local user profiles" to enabled.

Thank you for your assistance. Disabling the local policy requirement for the hosts resolved this issue.
