The information in the %profile% path. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lilley, Brian Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:51 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Simply Profiles / Hybrid Profiles Hi Joel, what are you referring to when you say "consistent profile information"? Thanks in advance, Brian -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joel Stolk Sent: 28 June 2004 20:42 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Simply Profiles / Hybrid Profiles Most of our problems stemmed from MAPI profiles, and our variety of configurations. Unfortunately, our MAPI profiles have never been managed per se, and flex profiles seemed to fail on some of the more complicated MAPI configurations. Another issue was the time it took to log in was substantially increased with flex profiles because we pushed a lot of the profile information to the users' home drives. Since we have a lot of home drives on remote servers, this slowed the user experience quite a bit. Last but not least is the fact that a lot of our custom applications seemed to not do well without the consistent profile information that you can only get from a roaming profile; roaming registry settings alone did not cut it. Now, would it work well if we had everything pointing to centralized servers with a small set of applications? Absolutely. However, our configuration with standard roaming profiles and well managed, locked down AD GPOs works great for us. The only difference we make is that we point the profile\desktop location to their home drives, just in case a user finds a way to save something on their desktop. This change prevents the users from filling up their profile (10 MB max) and has reduced our profile related help desk calls to about 2 a month out of a user pool of 3000. -Joel -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Braebaum, Neil Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 3:53 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Simply Profiles / Hybrid Profiles I'm puzzled too with this flexibility issue? I mean, um, what *could* be more flexible than flex / hybrid profiles? Just normal roaming profiles, or dynamic ones as I see it...
