Windows Vista handles User data and Profiles much differently than Windows
XP. For that reason you will need to think carefully when migrating to
Vista.
I found a good document that explains some of the key differences in
profiles between Windows Vista and XP that is definitely worth checking
out. It is called the Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide and is
available at:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/fb3681b2-da39-4944-93ad-dd3b6e8ca4dc1033.mspx?mfr=true
One interesting tidbit from this document is that the problem of profiles
getting "stuck" and not unloading at logoff is supposedly totally fixed by
Vista and it should never happen. Here is the text from the document...
Profile unload failures at logoff
"Sometimes, earlier versions of Windows falied to unload the registry
portion of the user profile. Many times this failure prevented the user from
subsequent logons to the same computer. Windows Vista always unloads the
registry portion of the user profile, even if it must forcefully do so,
prior to synchronizing the profile to the profile server. Windows, when
forcefully unloading profiles, writes an event message to the event log. The
description of the event contains the name of the process that prevented the
registry from unloading and the closed registry path."
Woo Hoo!
