Roaming profiles contain user work environments, which include the desktop items and settings. Some examples of these environments are screen colors, mouse settings, window size and position, and network and printer connections. Roaming profiles are available wherever the user logs on, provided the server is available.

  • So if I had a thousand workstations connected to this server and I create a roaming user profile, I could log onto any of those workstations and my desktop/files will follow me wherever I go?

  • Yes if all computers is a member of that Server, the roaming user could log onto any of thos Client computers and the desktop/files will follow wherever roaming user go

  • Beautiful tutorial .. keep going :)

  • You missed out specifying \\SERVER\Profiles\%USERNAME% in ActiveDirectoryUsersComputers under each user's Profile tab. That video

    is not going to work. User logging on from XP, Vista client computers

    will still get a Windows could not find your local profile logging you on

    with a temporary profile.

  • @TorchwoodElectrics When u receive this domain not available error message?Is it during logon? If it is, log on using administrator account and rejoin domain. Or if u have administrator privilege, fix the time synchronization from the desktop you tried to login with your net time server,which is usually your own domain contoller.

  • @ganjo31 should be using the same way in Active Directory by settings Group Policy.correct me if i am wrong

  • how can i create restrictions on the workstation from the server

  • @petercrys

    it is a cool feature, but it takes around a minute for the desktop to load since it is pulling it up from the server. I have around 30 users on the network with folder redirection and it's really slow. I think changing to local profile. Thanks

  • nice video!! thanks!

  • nice vid! please create more video tutorial =)
