Good Evening, Seeing this thread interested me as we'll theoretically be moving to Windows 8 at UNC Charlotte in the 2014 time frame (application compatibility issues not withstanding). I took the time this evening to integrate a Windows 8 build into our environment to determine if roaming user profiles with folder redirection still work properly (I tested with the developer preview last year). After my initial tests, everything appears in working order in regards to both roaming profiles and folder redirection. This was tested on Windows 8 Enterprise x64 with OpenAFS 1.7.2112. Our group policy is still setup exactly as described in: http://openafs.org/pages/newsletter/newsletter-2012-08-volume004-issue03.html#appendix_b1__roaming_profile_
Please let me know if there is any additional information that I can give that would be helpful in this circumstance.
