From what I gather, roaming profiles (as long as they are default) cover
redirecting of desktop, app data and start menu folders, which would seem to
me would make redirecting of those folders irrelevant. Is this a correct
assumption? If so, then I could set up roaming profiles + redirected My
Documents and be set, correct?

Thanx

A Roaming Profile does not "redirect" any folders.
It merely stores the profile on the server and downloads it to the local
machine on logon, then uploads it on logoff to the server.

If you want to point their My Documents folder to their Home Drive - then
you have to do it whether or not you use roaming profiles.

Adding to that - if you have customers who like to store every document they
ever created on their desktop - not redirecting that when you have roaming
profiles can slow the logon process immensely.

Also, there are other folders (temporary internet files, some sections of
the Application Data folder, cookies, etc) that can increase in size very
quickly and slow down the logon process when using roaming profiles unless
you setup the system not to upload/download these things.

Read what Shenan wrote about the difference between these two things -
....but yes, I'd use folder redirection (I normally just redirect My
Documents and yell at any users who store files on the desktop) and also use
roaming profiles.
