On desktops we redirect Favorites and Documents to the user's home directory on a server. Everything else is left locally.
If a hard drive crashes the user is out anything they did not keep in Documents. On laptops we don't redirect to an external location, so if a laptop drive fails the user loses everything. UE-V sounds interesting and I'd like to look into. You'll have to let us know how your experience with UE-V goes.

What are people in the real world doing about local data on workstations? In your case, if a hard drive crashes do your users lose their favorites? I redirect everything now and I am about to do UE-V too. I'm just curious if I'm an oddball. On a side note: I've never once seen an IE upgrade lose any favorites. ________________________________ John Marcum MCITP, MCTS, MCSA Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ [H_Logo] From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Timothy Ransom Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2015 1:53 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: batch or script to backup every user profile's favorites folder locally This is just a one-time backup only for the IE11 upgrade and must be local - no other space is available. I expect to have 99% success rate but must be able to restore favorites if lost in the upgrade.
