Question

Usually, under Windows Server 2008 R2, there is a folder c:usersdefault. This folder is a template for new users logging on at the machine. So, if you create the folder c:usersdefaultDesktopTest every new user will have a copy of the folder “Test” on his desktop.

In my environment we are using folder redirection and roaming profiles. Where can I find the default folder now? The c:usersdefault folders on the single machines are not used.

Answer

The profile gets created locally using the default profile of the machine that you’re logging on to. It’s not until log off that it becomes a roaming profile as such.

C:UsersDefault is still there, and it will still be used when the profile is first created.
