ROAMABLEROOTFOLDER user location vs installation location

Any idea why AutoCAD R2012 would evaluate the ROAMABLEROOTFOLDER variable different on different machines or for different users?  We are using a network deployment to install AutoCAD 2012 on our workstations.  When checking either the registry or an AutoCAD profile, we see that some machines have set that varialble as:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\ (the installation folder)

Other machines have that variable set as:

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\R18.2\enu (the user folder)

 

Any ideas what might be causing that?  Our IT dept has the installation folder locked out, so I'm concerned that if a user tries to make any changes to a profile, for example, they'll get an error message and won't be able to make any adjustments.

 

Thanks,

Guy

You might try browsing or searching the Autodesk Up and Ready blog, or maybe you can contact one of the authors directly.
