Hi,

We are using VMware View 5.3 and are using non-persistent floating pools with refresh at logoff,

We have Windows 8.1 desktops in a 2012 domain. The user profiles is roamed to a file server during logon and logoff. (Because we use View 5.3.3 we cannot use persona management for Windows 8.1).

Windows search indexing service is disabled, but we are considering turning it on to get better Outlook 2013 search.

But how will Outlook/Windows search indexing behave with roaming profiles and refresh at logoff? Will the metadata indexing files be saved in appdata(roaming profiles) or is it saved locally on the computer? If its only saved locally then the Outlook 2013 indexing is reset after each logoff and this will not work in practise.

There is also some changes in Outlook indexing between 2010 and 2013 version.

Hi Primeid,

"But how will Outlook/Windows search indexing behave with roaming profiles and refresh at logoff? Will the metadata indexing files be saved in appdata(roaming profiles) or is it saved locally on the computer? "

The roaming profiles is the collection of things that reside under  %USERPROFILE% directory to the server space .When we log off the machine ,it will be copied to the server .Of course ,there is a cached copy in the local machine by default but we can configure it .
Here are links for reference of roaming profile and configuring the cached copies of roaming profiles.
