Which Windows 10 Profiles?

[CHiLL]

For the ones who are saying local profiles, how are you managing it with hundreds of pupils logging on various machines? We are about to make the Windows 10 jump but deciding on profile type is proving a sticking point.

I simply don't touch the profiles and use delprof to delete profiles older than two weeks (we are only a one week timetable school...I'd probably set it to 3/4 weeks if we were using a two week timetable). We have 120GB SSDs in our machines, so not a massive amount...yet we don't really have an issue with storage space. We've had this configuration running now for almost four years.

Local Profiles, UEV, redirect everything apart from Appdata (No point if using UEV)

 

Machines end up being rebuilt mostly at least once throughout the year so not noticing profile build ups really, but 120Gb SSD's (Dont have many) do get close to the bone in out CDT departments, and have to be cleaned down occasionally with Delprof.

I made a Shutdown script that also writes to Event Viewer for troubleshooting purposes

There's also an extra switch for delprof2 people have found that helps with Windows 10 profiles, /ntuser.dat or something along those lines.
