RDS User Disk Profiles and Roaming Profiles

$

Hello Experts,

I wonder if someone can help me here please. In my current setup we use roaming profiles so when a user logins from a windows7 client computer a V2 profile is created copied back and forth to the server, which is all working well.

Now I am trying to bring RD Service in, allowing same users to be able to login from anywhere to access their work resources. RDS on its own is working but I am having some difficulty here with user profiles.

Without UPD

When a user login via the RDWeb he gets a new profile V4 in the shared profile area plus a local profile on the RD Server in C:\users which stays even after the users has logged off, if I look at the User Profile details in the System Properties it says abc user Roaming profile.

Above is not what I wanted hence configured User Profile Disks which does what i want but causes other issues

With UPD

Behaviour is the same I get V4 profile, a VHDX disk, a local user profile in c:\abd user which gets deleted when user logs off which is all well and good, pretty quick login.

Problem appears when I login as domain administrator or even a local server administrator I get temp profile so existing Administrator gets a profile like Administrtor.domain.backup0 or something like that.

does anyone know why ? What is that I am doing wrong. I would really appreciate all your help.

I am clueless- Many Thanks

ok a bit more digging around. What I have found after applying the UPD the local accounts on the Remote Desktop Server and the Domain Administrator account also get migrated or converted to UVHD files. Hence I get an Administrator profile an Administrator.00 profile and an Administrator.backup-00 profile. I have now cleaned all the .00 profiles and deleted the registry keys as well, all I have now is an Administrator profile in c:\users which I guess is used for both local and domain Administrator 

Is this normal ? is this how it should be ? is it a problem or is it something I am doing wrong.

Please have a look at the screen dump for more clues.

Many Thanks
