We have just turned on Roaming User Profiles for our students and I have noticed that some students in their profile on the server have Local, and Localnow.<o:p></o:p> I have looked at the Group Policy regarding file/folders to be excluded from the student's roaming profile and it states that by default, the Appdata\Local and Appdata\LocalLow folders and all their subfolders like the History, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile. While this is happening for some students, others dont have appdata\local and appdata\localnow at all in their RUP.<o:p></o:p> How can I make sure that local and localnow are 100% excluded from the students RUP as the MBs are adding up and it takes a student who has these folders/files in their RUP some time to log on over wireless.<o:p></o:p> Thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi, Are there the Windows XP systems in your environment? From Windows Vista, Microsoft introduces a new Application Data folder structure. Previously, user profiles did not logically sort data that was stored in the Application Data folder. Therefore, it was difficult to determine whether data belonged to the computer or the user. Windows Vista addresses this issue by creating a single AppData folder that contains three subfolders under the user profile: Roaming, Local, and LocalLow. Usually, the Local and LocalLow folders for application data that does not roam with the user. In operation systems earlier than Microsoft Windows Vista, Appdata is involved in roaming profile as default. The History, Local Settings, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile. You can configure group policy to exclude Appdata: User Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->User Profiles-->Exclude directories in roaming profile. There is a similar thread for your reference: Why Application Data folder is also copied to roaming profile when Folder redirection is enabled Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support If you are TechNet Subscriptionuser and have any feedback on our support quality, please send your feedback here.Sabrina TechNet Community Support
