The whole roaming/mandatory/default profile debate

[andy]

Well done AJB. I have added a note at the bottom of the roaming profiles section advising about large profiles and problems that they may cause.

@DB: Thanks. I have added a note to your note to mention that the problems described can be avoided by using redirected folders to store documents and desktop on the server and setting a limit on profile size.

I'll add a section on the Linux/samba way of doing it.

I'll add a note to say that Linux isn't necessarily the only way of doing it

Andy.

I'd be very interested in any info regarding roaming problems...sorry, profiles here. Our biggest bugbear is having to clear locally-stored profiles off machines that have been scrambled in some way - so the user cannot then log on. A quick fix but it's a tedious fault which occurs with some frequency.

Are you not using something like delprof to delete the local ones?

Not as it stands here at the moment, no. That kind of decision is out of my hands, though.... :cry:

You need somthing like Delprof run in the startup and shut down scripts to get rid of these.

Why?

Just stick delprof in NETLOGON and add the following line to your startup script:

delprof /q /i /y

@ric: Would you care to document the usage of DELPROF in the WIKI?

The Wiki is superb!

Great work ;-)
