I am a little confused.
What is the fuss about in this article:

I am thinking of implementing roaming profiles along with folder redirection.
The roaming because one of our sales people or technicians sometimes has to man the switch board. The roaming profile is alo so that i can quota manage the users as all users use company equipment and therefore they sould not store music or movies on the devices. So i restrict the size of the folder in \\server\share\FOLDER (“username”)
Is this sound?
The folder redirection, to ease the backup process. I also want to quota manage this folder because we have a central or “Public” folder where all business data should be stored. The redirected folder can be quota managed because the user should have very little personal data, perhaps a few photos to feel more at home
Is this sound? What about the .pst file?
I am currently testing it in a “lab” environment and i dont see the problem as described in the article mentioned.
I my test machine uses Windows XP Pro and my server is MS Windows 2003 (i will migrate to Server 2008 at a later stage and to Windows 7 Pro sooner)
When i unplug the network cable of the machine though i get a message from windows saying that i am offline but i should not worry because when i log onto the network again all changes made will be updated “syncronized” automatically.
I havent set anything special on either the server nor the worksation.
Will it be this easy in Server 2008/Win7?
