How about writing a script or batch file to clear out the log files when the program is closed (if they are not needed)?

Hi<br />
<br />
We use roaming profiles on our network. One of the applications we support generates logs which end up in the user's profile. These log files grow to epic proportions, often over 2GB in size across many daily log files. This causes slow and unreliable logons for the users and take up huge amounts of space on the profile share.<br />
<br />
The solution is to exclude the directory in GP. However, there is one file and one subdirectory (called 'prefs') which need to continue roaming with the user. How can I exclude all of the files and folders with one file and one folder exception? In the GPMC there is only an option to exclude entire directories, and sadly the log files that are causing the issue are all at the root of the directory.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Partially exclude a directory from a roaming profile

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
