All users of my Portal has a User Documents and Settings Folder...

Hello people....

We're working on a company that it has 10.000 employes. Most of them use the
Intranet Portal implemented on Sharepoint Portal Server 2003.

We have an issue and We don't know If this is correct behaviour, a
configuration setting or a bad implementation.

The problem is that each user who get in to the Portal, and that user is
authenticated through AD security has a User Document and Settings Folder in
the Sharepoint Server.

Those folders are small and light in many cases but there are many of them
and We don't know what to do, if buy another disk, if we can change a setting
or if we have a bad implementation in our portal. Our diks are FULL!!!!

If anybody help us, We'll thank you a lot.

Best Regards.
Atte.,

Omar,

normal implementations are not using anything personal that is stored in the
file system on the server. There must be a custom developed web part or
application running on the server that is storing information over there.

Maybe the files stored in the temporary folders for the users give you some
information what is doing that.
Contact the developers if its normal operation or not.

Normally the Documents and settings is used to store profile information for
users, who are logging on to the server.

Regards

Peter

Hello Peter...

Thanks for the comment. Well, We thought that the folders are created when
each user create his "MySite", but all data in that personal sites is saved
in SQL right?...

Well, If that's correct, how can we trace or find the cause of this
behaviour?...

I will search the folders and I'll post a comment to let you know.

Best regards...
Atte.,
