Mandatory profile

[Neville]

We are using a mandatory profiles but whenever a user launches a microsoft application it starts to launch something like a setup wizard and then the user information box appears and the application opens.

This is for all microsoft applications.

Take a look at this thread. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/18661-creating-small-mandatory-profile.html

 

With many products it is worthwhile using them when the profile isn't mandatory. Then make the profile madatory and the settings will be saved.

You need to make a copy of the profile, rename NTUSER.MAN to NTUSER.DAT, logon using a test user, run Office once and logoff.

 

Then rename NTUSER.DAT back to NTUSER.MAN and allocate it to a real user (for further testing). All being well, then allocate the profile to all required users.

Yeh I followed the guides here and got a mandatory profile which was about 1 mb big and worked flawlessly since I changed it over. It made our logins about 5 times as fast.

 

One of the best things i've done on our network.
