Indeed you're right. I am redirected the way the farm wants me to. I
noticed that I get redirected to the same server (when not redirected) but
with a temporary profile... I still have to understand this behaviour.
We have a cluster with a DNS "load-balancing" (the hostname "rds" is either
resolved to "rds2" or "rds4", the two final servers).
With the mstsc client; even when I get explicitly redirected, I don't get a
temporary profile...


As a side note, why do you want to run Windows 2012? Our experience is that

I don't "want" to run 2012 ;) This is my working environment and I am
simply adapting to it. Windows 2012 and R2 are the current standard in my
organisation and I just have to deal with it!

Cheers
