Hi All,
This past summer we migrated persona management profiles from one Windows file server to another and I went in and modified the Active Directory GPO to point to the new profile path (and recomposed). For the past 2 months or so everything worked fine until this week when some users (not all) complained that they were receiving a pop up at Windows logon that said they were using a temporary Windows profile. A "GPRESULT /R" from a desktop in question shows that the roaming profile path is pointing to the old file server UNC!!!! I checked the GPO to make sure it was pointing to the correct path and it was. What we did find was an entry in the registry of the master image that was pointing to the old UNC path, it was...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Policies -> VMware, Inc. -> VMware VDM -> Persona Management -> Service -> CentralProfileStore
What install/config/whatever created this entry? We edited it to point to the new UNC path and are recomposing soon (which will hopefully fix the issue) but we don't know what created that entry and have no idea why it only appears to be an issue on some desktops in the pool. We inherited this Persona Management setup from a consultant so we know little about it, we thought that all settings were controlled via either a local group policy or an AD group policy.
Thanks
