One pointing to the original c:\Users\%username% location and the other to the correct share assigned via GPO?

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Just a quick piece of advice regarding Dell R610s and Dell R910s in vSphere &#8211; when setting up the BIOS of the server, make sure to leave Node Interleaving disabled. This messes with ESX&#8217;s own NUMA settings (Configuration -&#62; Advanced Settings -&#62; Numa) and significantly reduces the speed of the ESX server. Reference Cheers, [...]]]></description>
