Active Roles 7.x directories not being created under C:\ProgramData (4286659)

You may have noticed, while manually deploying Active Roles components (i.e. AR Management Shell/Tools), that the AR directories do not get created under:  C:\ProgramData.

This may affect the caching functionalities of ADSI provider.

This is by design. The directories under C:\ProgramData are only expected to be created when a connection is made to an active AR service via the AR Configuration Service.

An enhancement request (TF00761379 / VSTS90974) has been created detailing the feature: “Create a path for ARS log (\\ProgramData\Dell\ActiveRoles\Logs) while installing ARS Management Shell alone through an ARS ISO.”
