Any suggestions on getting away from roaming profiles, without having to maintain local profiles for all the student's on each machine.




Well, to the best of my knowledge, whether you use local or roaming profiles, a locally (cached) version of the profile will exist. If you have 100 roaming users log into a single machine, that machine will have 100 locally cached roaming profiles (taking-up space).

So I guess, why not just get rid of your roaming profiles altogether. You wont be using any less space on the wkstn, and youll be saving a boatload of server space, and your login times will improve.


I mean, what the heck do students need roaming profiles for anyways ?

(btw), our organization has roaming users ... about 10,000 of them, they do present unique challenges.
