IMO the startup folder (and contained Global Templates) and Workgroup Templates Folder should be local, not network. There can be a central repository for these files on the network which is updated upon user login. Doing this makes use of laptops more feasible, cuts down on network traffic, and makes updating the shared resources easier. |
I would think/agree its best to to keep the StartUP and Template folders local, and you can push the updates on login.
I plan to speak with my IT group in setting that up in the coming weeks. For us though, everyone now logs into a VM every day, so our laptops are just 'dump terminals'. My IT just pushed a policy to force VM restarts every Friday night which should help ensure any templates are updated as there most users never reboot their VM's anymore!
