Redirect OST file using outlook 2010 GPO

I'm pretty sure you're going to have to move the user profiles. to accomplish this.

also on the term server you can change

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList  
change strng "ProfilesDirectory" = "d:\locaction\you want"

You'll need to rename the existing profiles to something like .old and move files to the new location once you've logged the user back in and created a new profile.

there's a group policy that should do it(haven't tryed this one yet but saw it when I was looking for how to move profiles a while back).
Computer Configuration\Administraive Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Set Path for TS Roaming Profiles

No I am going to move only ost from Local App data.

Already we are redirecting user profle to netapp.

The GPO will only redirect future creation not existing ones.
You could look at folder redirection to avoid having those files part of the profile.
This will also save space from the Desktop, My Documents, Application Data and Start menu.

I guess Folder redirection will not redirect Local App data where outlook OST lives.

We also tried with new user and his mailbox is storing on local C drive.

Why is Outlook running in Cache Exchange Mode on a terminal server? In older versions of Outlook, Cache Exchange Mode was disabled by default on terminal servers.  That was done before to prevent OST files being created and taking up lots of drive space in the multi-user environment.

Office 2010 does have the option to enable Cache Exchange Mode on terminal servers, which Microsoft recommends in a situation where there is high latency to a remote exchange server. This document goes into considerations that might help you determine whether or not Cached Exchange Mode is really needed.

That document points out:


Even with Outlook 2010 loaded on some of our terminal servers, we don't enable Cache Exchange Mode because of space concerns. Also, the Exchange & terminal servers are all in the same data center so we have no concerns about latency.

Is latency an issue in your environment?

The Local Settings folder is one of the folders excluded from roaming profiles by default.  According to this technet page, you cannot use the GPO it describes to include any of the excluded folders in the roaming profile folder. You can only use it exclude more folders:

This wiki page has some good information about roaming profiles:

yes latency  is the concern for us.

Don't know why redirect ost GPO is not working.
