[gptalk] Re: Define Roaming Profile with GPO

Steve,

 

What is the driving factor for this particular roaming profile need?

 

I would assume that you want each user to be able to log on to any of
the lab machines and get their same settings- but what is included in
those settings that is most critical?

 

Instead of managing the entire profile location- maybe you can use
loopback processing for the lab computers and set particular things like
folder redirection, Outlook prf files, deploy printer GPO functions and
in conjunction of a properly configured default and All Users profile
and logon and logoff scripts you may be able to get most if not all of
the functionality you require.

If you're talking about setting profile path for AD users, then there is
no real way to do that via GP. I suppose you could define a logon script
that uses the net user /domain command to do that but the reality is
that you should probably just use an ADSI script to modify this
attribute in bulk.

I think you have to set the profile path were the system should look for
the profile. Don't know if you can set that with a local policy though.
