MetaProfiles-IT Special Folder not working

Question

Hello all, I am running a series of testes with vWorkspace 7.2 Beta MetaProfile-IT component and Windows 2003 Terminal Server. (I did the same test with vWorkspace 7.1 and I had the same Special Folder issue). Everything seems to be running just fine except for the Special Folders. The test consists in creating two folders called 'teste': one under 'My Documents' and the other one under 'Desktop' user folder. I have created two profile settings in the vWorkspace MGMT Console for both folders. When I open the GBL/GRP files using the 'rename to ZIP' method I can only see the reg.xml file with the correct Registry Settings applied, but no Special Folder. I have enabled both side MetaProfile-IT logs to check if I was missing something but the funny thing is that even the log file shows that the Special Folder setting should be working. Follow some of relevant log file lines from TS side (The complete log file from  both MetaProfiles Server and TS Server are attached): ===================================================================================================================================== 05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Profile Type:005-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Check C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\pnmp.ini:exists05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Compress Profile:S-1-5-21-1314236118-3834263140-1002257967-113005-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Load Dir: C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\mpmdir.txt05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Load Dir return:12933451212917030005-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Item 0, path:Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer type:105-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Item 1, path:Desktop type:205-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Save Profile:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,Desktop,C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\S-1-5-21-1314236118-3834263140-1002257967-1130_mpmts\34.zip,005-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - SaveProfileDirectory:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,Desktop05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - SaveProfileDirectory:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,Desktop	este05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Item 2, path:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings type:105-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Item 3, path:My Documents type:205-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - Save Profile:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,My Documents,C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\S-1-5-21-1314236118-3834263140-1002257967-1130_mpmts\35.zip,005-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - SaveProfileDirectory:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,My Documents05-Nov-2010 15:21:46 - 1408 - SaveProfileDirectory:C:\Documents and Settings\dvg2\,My Documents	este======================================================================================================================================= As you can see in the red lines above, it seem that the folders are created but not exported, or maybe I don't know how to interpret this log file accurately.

I generally find MetaProfiles is only useful for registry exports/imports...

If the collective total of selected folders totals more than 6-8MB I find it fails to export the data.... That's where folder redirection comes in

Hi Tiago,

A possible cause of the folders not getting exported is because they may not have any content within them. You can confirm this by creating a file within the folder(s) and retry your operation.

Thanks
