RoamingProfileSupportEnabled - referred to in other policies desc but no policies designed to set it
- Feb 11, 2020
Hi,
It appears that Microsoft have released some new GPO templates - i'm not sure on a version or a date they were available but as of today 11th February 2020 they have resolved this issue.
There is a new policy called "Set the user data directory" and I've set the value to ${roaming_app_data} and this resolved my issue.
In the policy is a link to a page of descriptions of options for this value and instructions on what to do.

Hope this helps everyone!
Thanks,
Mike
Has anyone had any luck getting GPO to work? I am running a 4 node term server environment and I have the GPO's set for roaming profile as saxe123 described and if I login with my test user and open Edge and then check the policies applied with edge://polcies, they show as applied and okay, but they simple do not work. I even defaulted the home page with the GPO, it shows as applied, but it just doesn't work. Is this a Microsoft issue? I also am using the consumer version, not the business version, but I assume it doesn't matter when it comes to GPO, its more of controlling the versions? Maybe not? Let me know what you are all having luck with, because right now, GPO's are not working for me...thank you!
J-DOT A screenshot of edge://sync-internals/ would help.

J-DOT we also set HomepageLocation but only as recommended and that works
check settings "show home button" and verify that "new tab page" is not enabled
my questions were still not answered and i need that to realize a better user experience on the terminal servers. Mozilla has an enterprise mailing list with much better support/maintenance directly from the developers. Mike Kaply 🙂
It could not be that hard to get some answers to such important questions. How to handle those questions? Open support calls?
