   Ms teams and roaming profile workaround

   This is what I found works well for us on windows 10 roaming profiles.
   Using GPO to exclude the following from the profile.
   
   User configuration>Administrative template>system>user profiles>exclude directories in roaming profile.

   ;AppData\roaming\microsoft\teams
   
   After applying the exclusion place the latest version of ms teams install files in a central place that has permission for users to run the file.
   Uninstall all versions of teams installed on every computer and then create a shortcut to the central file on the users desktop and tell every user to use that icon to run teams
   **We also use a common desktop for every user in our roaming profile so we just have to place the shortcut on the common desktop and all users get it.**
