Actually probably didn't make myself fully clear - I am talking about GPO Folder Redirection of AppData. UPM actually works like a roaming profile in that it copies the data locally and then up to the network again (just a bit more intelligently than a standard roaming profile), so no, I must retract my comment previously, UPM doesn't behave like a redirected folder.
I'd be interested still to know if you are using the streaming options though.

I was referring to actually configuring redirection of the AppData folder from the profile to the network, yeah. Curious, if you use UPM, do you use the file streaming option? That would reduce the amount of writes to the network and would probably be a "best of both worlds" solution as it only commits data at certain times.
