FM v11 with roaming profiles

Post by Terry MCCarron » Wed Apr 04, 2012 10:38 am

has any one found a solution to get FM to work with roaming profiles.
the problem is the lock file when a user logs in to a number of Workstations at the sametime.

Yes I know of this problem for some time now. I just tell the user to either log off the first machine or just use a different browser in the mean time.

I've seen this problem for a number of years. Until now I manged to bypass the problem with GPOs using the \%COMPUTERNAME%\ for the appdata directory.
Roaming is a basic function of any company these days Does anyone have an idea if FM are thinking about working on a solution.

Does straight-up Firefox work in a roaming profile environment? I would bet it has the exact same problem.

If FF doens't work in a roaming profile environment, I would start asking them to fix the situation, and FM will inherit whatever fix they come up with. FM is just patching the existing code to add hooks for GPO deployment/management, not wholesale gutting & replacing something as critical to FF as the profile.
