We don't use Roaming Profiles, probably why we haven't encountered this additional issue (if that's it Ben).

The user has an existing roaming profile pulled from the network, so no new profile is created from the default user profile, hence the layout is not used. 2. The domain has a default user profile on the netlogon share that's used instead of the default local profile.

Is this not supported or is there an obvious step that I am missing? Im doing the following. Using export-startlayup to get the appsfolderlayout.bin then have a step in the task sequence to copy that file from a package to users\default\local\microsoft\windows Works for Local user, but not domain.

But that updates the default user profile, so the end result is exactly the same as copy the file as appsFolderLayout.bin. (Not surprising, since that's exactly what Import-StartLayout does.)

Dropping the .bin file into the profile seems cleaner.

Assuming you want to set a default, you can: * Manually configure the layout the way you want it. * Export the layout by running the PowerShell Export-StartLayout cmdlet (export-startlayout -as bin -path blah.bin). (In Windows 8, you had to run Sysprep, then grab the resulting appsFolderLayout.bin file. The PowerShell cmdlet makes it easier.) * Add that .bin file to the default user profile. There are a few ways to do that last step. The way I prefer: Just have the task sequence (once in the new OS, before a "real" user logs in) copy the file into C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows, renaming it to "appsFolderLayout.bin". Then you don't need to mess with CopyProfile, modifying the image, or anything like that. I'm working on a blog that gets into more details.

Apparently this has changed now however I haven't been able to find much doco on how it works.... Assume its tied to sysprep and copyprofile however I thought there was also a bin file or similar that you could capture or save to or something...... any ideas everyone?
