Hello Adam,
most of the things mentioned in the previous discussions are technically correct, but won't help because it is much too complicated to configure and maintain.
Maybe one can script suggestions mentioned/maybe one can setup parts of it via GPOs, but who will maintain or document changes. This is not a practical way to provide a dynamic workspace for a user (even in a mandatory environment).
The only way to setup mandatory profiles in conjunction with Office apps is to dynamically safe and provide parts of HKCU and parts of the Userprofile.
To do this, try RES Powerfuse. www.ressoftware.com
This tool allows you to combine the two worlds.
Personally I did exactly the same already. We use mand.prof. in our newly migrated Win7 environment.
I faced the same challenges and I'm still learning. BUT it works fantastic!
I separated *.ost files from out of UserProfile dirs. With RES PF I dynamically provide Outlook signatures i.e. based on entries of AD.
Currently I'm checking how indexed doc information can be prevented as well.
If you've questions, send me an email.

Configuring folder redirection for Outlook 2007 for mandatory prof

Hello All,
Hope I'm posting this in the right group.
We have been trying to set up mandatory profiles and folder redirection via
Group Policy for all of our users, but have had considerable problems getting
it to work with the latest version of Office and Outlook. The biggest problem
we are having is in redirecting the appropriate customization files for
Outlook. Basically, we've attempted to re-direct all office settings for
users to an Applicaton Data share on the network. However, when using
mandatory profiles, users are finding that if they customize Outlook, those
customizations are lost once they log off and back on. Can anyone tell me how
and where Outlook stores user customization and how we can best re-direct
those settings using Group Policy folder redirection in conjuction with
mandatory profiles? Hope I've provided enough information. Many thanks,
Adam
