I have a Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Server and a GPO redirecting Remote Desktop Services profiles to a netapp share. This works with one caveat. I am getting a local profile written as well as the roaming profile. An actual full local profile, not a cached copy.

I have already tried deleting the registry key and local profile directories manually. They just reappear on login.

  • There's a GPO setting to delete cached copies of roaming profiles. Do you have that setting enabled in the GPO that is being applied to the RDS server? – joeqwerty Jun 21 '12 at 17:36
  • great! where is the setting? – user95587 Jun 21 '12 at 17:37
  • I found it in Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Administrative Templates \ System \ User Profiles. Its called "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" – user95587 Jun 21 '12 at 17:44
  • unfortunately this did not work - the profile is not cached. its an actual local profile. I will adjust my question. – user95587 Jun 21 '12 at 17:47
  • What property sheet are you using to specify the roaming profile location? – Greg Askew Jun 21 '12 at 19:15
  • on a DC, Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Profiles I have enabled both "Set path for Remote Desktop Services Roaming User Profile" and "Use mandatory profiles on the RD Session Host server" – user95587 Jun 21 '12 at 20:05

Enable the "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" setting in the GPO that is applied to the RDS server. The setting can be found at:

Computer Configuration|Policies|Administrative Templates|System|User Profiles
