I have a Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Server and a GPO redirecting Remote Desktop Services profiles to a netapp share. This works with one caveat. I am getting a local profile written as well as the roaming profile. An actual full local profile, not a cached copy.

I have already tried deleting the registry key and local profile directories manually. They just reappear on login.

  • There's a GPO setting to delete cached copies of roaming profiles. Do you have that setting enabled in the GPO that is being applied to the RDS server?

  • unfortunately this did not work - the profile is not cached. its an actual local profile. I will adjust my question.

  • What property sheet are you using to specify the roaming profile location?

  • did you run gpupdate on the server after setting the GPO setting? If not, do that or reboot the server.
