Wow, that is interesting. We're currently Novell, but what I described is how we're planning on doing it after migrating to AD and Win7 on the desktops.

I was always under the assumption that we had what is known as Fast Logon Optimization on our XP systems that allows GPOs to process asynchronously in the background. He told us that it is disabled in our environment because we use the profile settings to map homeDir and specify login script. Basically anything that is set on the Profile tab in ADUC is considered legacy NT behavior and disables logon optimization. I had heard before that roaming profiles or software installation policies disabled it but this was news to me. I played around with my account on an old XP box and it rang true, never got around to looking into it further or on WIN7. FWIW, YMMV :) From: Heaton, Joseph@DFG [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2012 10:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: (homedrive) We simply populate the Profile Tab, and allow Windows to create the actual folder w/ appropriate rights.
