I think I may have cracked this, just to follow up. It looks like for whatever reason I need to redirect the Temporary Internet Files folder as well as the History folder, in this environment. You're not supposed to be able to point it to a non-local path (you certainly can't with GPO Redirection), but using AppSense EM or GPP you can force it. Don't quite understand the *why*, but once I've done this I can flip the test server a day forward in time and still see my History - that wasn't happening yesterday.
Won't know for sure till tomorrow, but looks more promising than the last few weeks, for sure :-) Cheers, JR On 4 December 2013 13:52, James Rankin <kz2...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Forgot to add....I tried it with Folder Redirection for History disabled > and Personalization Server capturing the IE History.
