RoamingProfileSupportEnabled - referred to in other policies desc but no policies designed to set it
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.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-learnmore-create-user-directory-vars
Hope this helps everyone!
Thanks,
Mike
83.0.478.44. Profile dir is created when missing, but not fulfilled.

MSAlf enabling RoamingProfileSupportEnabled does disable the AAD sync.... 
but does not create the roaming file.
Beta 84.0.522.11.
- All right, after i set SignInAndMakeDomainAccountNonRemovable to SignInAndMakeDomainAccountNonRemovable it started working, it's still not working with default profile. Well, at least i found the working scenario
- Do you use on-prem or Azure AD accounts?
I think there is no point for me to use ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn, i have pure on-prem setup, no azure accounts.
Currently i have confirmed that policies work in edge://policy, but directory and pdb file is not created. The same policy in chrome works fine.
Latest Edge and w10 21h2, im not sure where is the problem, if you have it working... I can confirm, that on Windows 10 21H2 on a domain joind computer with a domain user logged on and with RoamingProfileLocation and RoamingProfileSupportEnabled there is a profile.pb generated in the configured location. We also have set ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn.
I have enabled the setting in latest edge, and it seems to be not working at all.
Folder and profile data is not created in roaming profile, not even with explicitly specifying it using "Set the roaming profile directory" in GPO
Hi guys, I read all posts, but I'm not sure to have understand correctly.
We've Citrix Xenapp with UPM and Azure AD connect using to sync our AD and O365, in this enviroment the Edge roaming profiles GPOs isn't working?
I tried all yesterday to set GPOs with your suggestions (check the attached screenshots), but the only folder/files in roaming path is a single file "profile.pb", the others folders are in the local path.Thank you for any suggestion

RoamingProfileSupport in Microsoft Edge does work, even if Windows Profile of the user is local.I know this is a bit old, but I was recently having problems getting RoamingProfileSupportEnabled to actually work. I now have it working, and here's what I discovered:
Prereq:
- Win 10 client must be traditional AD-joined
- Win 10 client can't have the Azure account added (under Work accounts in settings)
- Obviously if you want roaming profile support, you need the user configured to roam the profile as well.
- Extra Credit - define roamingprofile exclusions in group policy (User Config-> System -> User Profiles -> Exclude directories in roaming profile). I exclude ones that have been problematic to me in the past:
- AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams
- AppData\Roaming\Adobe
- AppData\Roaming\Apple
- AppData\Roaming\Webex
- AppData\Roaming\Zoom
- OneDrive
- Pictures
- Music
- Videos
- Downloads
- Dropbox
- Desktop (if using folder redirection)
- Documents (if using folder redirection)
- Contacts (who uses this?)
- 3D Objects (who uses this??)
- Searches (same)
- Saved Games (this is a work PC...)
Policies:
- ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn = 1
- RoamingProfileSupportEnabled = 1
- (Optional) RoamingProfileLocation = $(roaming_app_data)\edge-profile
- (Optional) SyncDisabled = 1 (no sync to cloud)
the bad: on-prem sync only allows syncing settings and favorites --> check this
On-premises sync for Active Directory (AD) users | Microsoft Docs
quote "With on-premises sync, Microsoft Edge saves an Active Directory user's favorites and settings to a file that can be moved between different computers"
MS has yet no other plans to enable the other sync settings for on-prem customers
the good: MS will check if they will make the reset informations clearer for on-prem sync or even hide it because this reset will not reset anything.
thats it. nothing more nothing less - i guess we have to live with that or change the browser 🙂
- Great news. Anxiously waiting to hear what you find out!
got a remote session with MS yesterday and they will investigate the restricted possibilites for syncing on prem (only 2 from 8 options are working) and they will also change the message for reset sync which says that the data will be deleted from MS servers, which isnt true for on prem sync.
So lets hope and wait.
