How did you create your mandatory profile? and 7 mb quite small, any programs installed?

Thanks for all the response. The timing for 1 minute still seem sucky as our machine do 1 minute more or less. Although I have ran a extensive debug mode, haven't figure out how to read it. Any help would be great in deciphering it. From the timer, it seems to hang for like 30 seconds on one group policy. This is still cryptic to me UserEnv Debugging Line by Line - Rich Peckham&#39s Technical Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs. For mandatory profile, I was unable to replicate this Mandatory Profiles Solution for Windows 7 | K-5 Computer Lab with the profile stored locally. It maybe that it can't be done. I'm guess everyone mandatory profile is not a local one, if so I have tried a few guidelines to follow upon googleing, but none yielded any fruit, just a temporary profile, and one situation where it was not working at all. I made ntfs permission to Everyone, and in registry permission too. Any other pointers about mandatory profile, although it doesn't seem to be of any benefit since we use deep freeze. Unless it may shave a few more seconds off. More or less this is my situation: Specify same User Profile location for all users

Thanks for answering what mandatory profiles are. Does that mean that the personalization that happens when new accounts are first login happens all the time for mandatory profiles? By personalization, that little screen in the upper left at the beginning when the user first logons.

Can anyone clarify this point about mandatory profiles... Does having mandatory profile mean it won't go through the personalization as if the user first login, does that cut down on the time a user logs in? Cause currently it does take a while for the user to go from typing credentials to windows finally finish loading.

I just need to image the bootcamp partition, the mac os side has personal data.

We typically receive personal MAC computers and would use Boot Camp Assistant to partition and then install Windows 7 on it. A lengthy process with installing Office and doing updates. Currently we are syspreping the image so the process is smaller Before Lion, during Snow Leopard we used WinClone to restore win7 image to a partition. Currently is there a tool like Winclone that would allow me to restore win7 partition to the mac, not the whole mac as the mac side would contain user data? Is deploy studio capable of restoring a windows 7 image once a parition has been created, and these partition can vary as certain user want different sizes for their windows 7? Thanks in advance for any advice
