Outlook profiles and mb mappings

We have users that need to access community (resource) mailboxes on our

network. We have 6 Terminal Servers load balanced for our TS users. Each

time a User disconnects from a sessions and then logon, they have to remap to

the resource mailboxes via Outlook, even if they get re-pointed to the TS

server they previoulsy had a session with.

q 1.) Is there a way for their MB mappings to remain?

q 2.) Does the TS server tear down the mapi profile for each user after the

session ends? If not, they why wouldn't it remember the mailbox mappings?

 

Any insight truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

RE: Outlook profiles and mb mappings

 

Normally the outlook settings are saved in the profile. Are you using roaming

ts profiles?

There are some 'privileged users' that have Roaming profiles but the majority

do not. Is this the only possible way the user's will retain their mailbox

mappings?

The settings are kept in the profile, local or roaming. Try using roaming

profiles for all users. Using roaming profiles is recommended when using load

balanced servers.

The users are on on thin clients, there are no local profiles expect on the

TS servers themselves. Appears roaming profiles is the only way.

RE: Outlook profiles and mb mappings

 

I've tested this over and over. Even with Roaming profiles enabled, the

mapping to another mailbox does NOT stick after the sessions is closed. If

you logoff from the Session and then logon back on, the mappings are torn

down for some reason.

 

Is this a limitation?
