Roaming Profiles Question


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

When a roaming profile is set up for a domain user, does the applications

and the settings for those applications get set up in the profile? For

instance, if someone was using Outlook or Outlook Express, would the

application and the mail settings be stored in the profile? I know the

application (Outlook or Outlook Express) has to be available on the

workstation but would the user settings (mail settings) follow the user

around?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, they would.

They should. One concern, though about roaming profiles is the size of

the profiles. The larger they get, the longer it takes to boot and the

likelihood of profile corruption increases. You can exclude directories

via Group Policy.
