Roaming profiles are terribly problematic in any modern environment in my experience. Profile bloat, profile corruption, load failures - these issues plague any SBC solution where they are implemented.
As mentioned there are a nation of profile management tools that can address these issues. Citrix UPM provides a simple lightweight solution but if you're not using Citrix it's not really viable. There are many others but what you need to identify is how much time you are spending addressing profile issues based against the extra cost of a real solution. At the end of the day its all about how your apps perform and what settings need to roam. Without knowing much about your environment I can pretty much say the only GPO I'm sure you will need to configure is the Loopback Policy Processing. Are you publishing desktops, applications, or a combination of both?

Currently we are using roaming profiles and redirecting some user folders. Does anyone use roaming profiles anymore? Why or why not? I am also in the process of editing a group policy for both the server and users. Are there any policies I should add for sure .. Anyone willing to share their GP's with me? Also, I have been searching the internet for some good "best practices" for the new setup but have found little with regards to 2008. I want it set up as simple as possible so any ideas would be great.
