I have been down this road with windows roaming profile folder redirects. You really really don't want to redirect the user's appdata folder which contains the firefox profile. This doesn't work perfectly, in my experience, some files fail to close on logout, at least with a Samba server. I ended up backpedaling out of this.
If it worked perfectly, say OneDrive is somehow much better that CIFS, stop and think about what happens the first time a user logs on from two locations with the same profile at the same time. If they succeed, what happens when they log out? And then log out form the second profile? thanks, Bob On Thu, Mar 18, 2021 at 1:37 PM Eddie Rowe <eddie.r...@tdhca.state.tx.us> wrote: > Our organization has not yet adopted OneDrive, but I have begun setting up > the group policy to see what it can do.
