Maybe I'm just lucky but I have 200+ users on roaming profiles and I maybe have a couple corruptions a year. But I don't allow people to store the world in their documents either.

We used AppSense with mandatory profiles which was vastly better, we have now moved on to using Citrix Profile Management (which integrates nicely as it uses GPOs to deploy) and it is much better than Windows profile handling. In fact, I'd go so far as to say MS could learn a lot about profile handling by looking at CPM. We haven't had more than two corrupted profiles since we went live three months ago. In the windws-onlydays, we'd get that many per day.

I'm looking at setting up roaming profiles (eventually, when I get a storage appliance to handle the disk space requirements) for desktop D/R (in case of a virus getting in and trashing the PC or something.) Also, can you exclude things like "My Music" and "My Pictures" from roaming profiles? I'd rather *not* be backing up people's personal files.
