roaming profile to remote desktop access

[Guest lenny]

Hi,

We have a server with a Terminal Services Server. Everybody in the office

has a login name and password on this and they log onto any PC in the office

and Remote Desktop onto their terminal services desktop. One PC was

originally setup with a roaming profile and that one person now seems to be

working far slower than all the other users (accessing data and loading

databases etc.) I think this is due to a huge profile.

 

I would like to convert this user to the same as everybody else (Just a

basic Remote Desktop Logon without being a roaming profile) but don't really

know what to do and am also afraid of loosing all her data and settings. Any

suggestions in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers

Lenny

You should be able to simply eliminate the path to the roaming profile in

the "Profile" tab in the Domain Controller.

That will prevent a roaming profile from being created on new machines, but

the 'primary' workstation must also be told to use a local profile, whether

that is the machine she logs in to, or the TS...depending on where you are

trying to improve performance.

 

To do so, go to the system properties, click on the advanced tab, click on

the 'settings' button in the user profiles box, and then find her user and

click on the 'change type' button.

 

Good luck,

 

-Cliff

 

 

To do this, on the workstation,

Don't mix and match profiles. All your TS users should have a terminal

sservices profile path specified either in their user account properties in

ADUC or via group policy. I tend to use \\server\profiles$ for roaming,

\\server\tsprofiles$ for terminal services.
