A quick and dirty way of getting this list (aside from right clicking
'mycomputer') would be to export the info from the registry.=20
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\profile list\
Under this regkey you'll find all the currently loaded roaming profile
sids, as well as all loaded and un-logged in local profiles. The only
way to tell the 2 apart (local from roaming) is by looking under the
SID's to the "central profile" value.=20
If the profile is roaming, you should see a UNC path listed. If it's
local, the entry should be blank.=20
I'm with Paul, I don't believe there's a way to ennumerate this info
from command line. And if you're wanting to do this remotely, you need
to at least have remote registry access enabled for scripts to read the
reg value's I mentioned above.=20

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a profile whether local or roaming is
structured the same. What makes it roaming is if the profile folder
itself is located in a central repository that can be accessed from
multiple machines via a UNC path. By design though when a user logs
into a workstation the roaming profile is downloaded from its remote
repository to the local machine and essentially becomes a local profile
as far as the local computer is concerned. When the user logs out, any
changes that have been made get copied back to the central location.=20
This is of course unless you have policies that change this behavior.=20
So I guess all that tells you is that I'm not sure how you could
identify what kind of profile it was unless looking at the profile path
in AD (or NT).
You could script the enumeration of the c:\documents and settings
folder on a servers to see what profile folders are in there. If you
need help putting a simple on together...let me know. It would only
give you a list of the folder names though, unless there is an attribute
indicating that a profile is roaming.
HTH,
Paul

Sure. I'd like to dump out the list of all profiles on a server, along
with
the type of profile. For example, I'd like to see:
bjk09 roaming
tl7p1 local
administrator local
joeschmoe roaming
etc... I'd like to use this delimited or fixed width text file in
some
batch operations.
Thanks!
