roaming profile - logon /logoff time 15mins
Hi, guess i been posting multiple questions lately regarding roaming profiles. got one more to it.
i got roaming profiles deployed using the profile path in AD in server 2008R2
just for one user, the logoff takes 15mins and logoff takes another 15mins.
i did some work, found her profile is about 15GB. issue might be , every time when she tries to login, its taking time to set up profile. and when logoff its trying to sync to server.
how do i solve this time issue? is it something should i ask her to move files to different location or any other way to make logon/off faster ?

That is typical behaviour unless you also use folder redirection as when logon the entire profile has to be loaded onto the client machine and then saved back when logging off.
This article has some ideas of excluding directories that would sync by other means like dropbox folders or personal files like pictures and music...

Hi, does it download the profile everytime when computer logson ? does the workstation not keep a local cache and download only the updated files from server ?
Local cache is for when there is no network connection... Everytime I have used them they are slow... Even on gigabit networks... Why I switched to folder redirection...
I don't care if the user has access to every silly setting and their wallpaper, as long as they have their files...

This solution is only available to members.

Also if network connectivity is not available during logon, machine logon with cached copy but it also take much time as it tries to connect network share until timeout reaches
also if delta to be synced is large from workstation to profile share during log off, it will again take more time
better you move user data to network share and keep profile size as minimum as possible
u may deploy folder redirection
