Where does the DistCache folder go with the EnvironmentTemp setting?
We have an instance of Umbraco running on Azure with auto-scaling. We sometimes have issues with "DISTRIBUTED CACHE IS NOT UPDATED" appearing in the logs and content not updating on the front end, but the solution to this has been to delete the ~/App_Data/Temp/DistCache/*.lastsynced.txt file and restart the site.
With Umbraco 7.6 and above the advice recommends setting:
However, doing that means that the DistCache folder no longer exists under ~/App_Data/Temp/ so I can't delete the *-lastsynced.txt file when I need to.
Looking at the Umbraco source code it looks like the folder is moved to %temp%\UmbracoData\[app-domain-hash]\, but if I type echo %temp% on an Azure web app it resolves to D:\local\temp and the UmbracoData folder is not there, or anywhere on the D drive as far as I can tell.
Did you guys find out where it was stored. I just starting struggeling with this and I assume that changing the setting to AspNetTemp will give me a whole other world of hurt :)
Temp folder is configured on all server, will index get sync between servers, if updated from frontend?
Logs are not created on server2 and server3, but logs are saved on server1, why is that ? I stopped server1 to see whether it will be save something on server2 or server3, this change didn't save anything.

HI, Did you ever find out where this is stored? I have the exact same issue.
Thanks,

It's hard to give a definitive answer to this because it depends on the server configuration (especially on Azure).
Code is here though so you can run this on the machine to figure it out:
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/cf86409e3fec4198744189a48255543fc2f32614/src/Umbraco.Core/Sync/DatabaseServerMessenger.cs#L513
Looks like finding out what
System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%temp%")returns should get you pretty close.Hi,

System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%temp%")goes toC:/Windows/Temp. You'll find the temp files in UmbracoData folder.Hope this helps!
Forgot to ask, how to do change from local to network file share "\server1\share" ?
I tried to change EnvironmentTemp to the above value and the umbraco broke and threw an error.
What if you are using more of than one umbraco instance (multiple web sites), how would that work?
I have 3 servers

What am i doing wrong.
