Roaming profile issue

[Guest goundhog]

We have an application that writes to %userprofile%\local settings\

application data

 

By default Local Settings are excluded from the roaming profile

 

Does anyone know how to include folders under Local Settings in the roaming

profile??

Maybe a batch file that executes when the user logs off?

No - that's what local means. You should have a word with the application

developer to see whether you can redirect this to the non-local

folder.....and also find out whether the app is meant to be run in a TS or

domain environment, where LocalSettings data will not always be available

after logout/login.

Hey guys

 

I got round the issue by doing this reg setting

 

 

ExcludeProfileDirs

 

Located in:

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

 

This would mean all NEW users would pick up this change and thus their local

settings would be saved to and from their roaming profiles.

The funny thing is - as I don't allow my users to run regedit on the desktop

- I wrote a script to import this reg setting on login - the setting only

works if I make them a member of local admins on the server - strange as I

thought a login script would be able to add those settings ...??
