midweek Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Hi Just testing UEV with local profiles so we can ditch roaming profiles with Windows 10. It all seems to be working nicely with settings being retained across logins. However I just wondered how people limit the first login to an acceptable time? Not an issue for teachers on PCs they use every day, where the subsequent login time is seconds, but on shared machines for pupils. Best I can manage is about 2 minutes on a PC with an SSD even after creating a network "Default User.V6" profile. Do users just accept the slight delay? I have modified the image wim so that most of the windows store apps aren't included beyond the basics like calculator, Snip & Sketch etc. Thanks
robyholmes Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 We just use local profiles without any default profile. Logis times are pretty quick. 1
fiza Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Don't local profiles fill up the local drive pretty quickly?
robyholmes Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Don't local profiles fill up the local drive pretty quickly?Group policy deletes them. Plus we reimage most machines yearly so they don't build up to quickly. We don't use Delprof but I know others do.
Zimguy Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Have Microsoft fixed the glitch with the deleting of profiles in Group Policy or are you using Delprof? In 1803 there was a problem with the fact that windows update updated the date on ntuser.dat every time it ran so no profile would register being more than a few days old hense filling hard drives with old profiles. The fix we implemented was to run at startup Delprof /u /d:14 /ntuserini which would delete the profiles according to the age of the ntuser.ini. We are using a mixture of Folder redirection and UEV and ditched the roaming profiles about 6 months ago.
