Hi, Just a quick question about Roaming Profiles : Is there a way to force Windows to use Roaming Profils only on the share network, and without local copy ? I set Roaming Profile on a samba share with a GPO, but some users have a big profile so login is very slow Thanks Tom

As far as I am aware, you can either use profiles or not use them, there isn't really a half way house. You could try folder redirection instead, or setting quotas. Rowland

Added to that, you can exclude some dirs from profiles, or redirect some profile folder (Documents, Download, ...) to some share. In this way you can achive more or less what you want: profile can be keeped small, and most of profile content are ''linked'' to some share, directly.

You should use the folder-redirection. There is a GPO were you can redirect some folders from the profile to the homedirectories of your users. You should redirect the following folders: appdata Desktop Download Own Data This is a computer-based GPO so you must reboot your Clients (twice!) If you redirect all possible Folders the userprofiles are 50 to 70 MB Am 21.10.19 um 16:23 schrieb Tom via samba:> Hi, > > Just a quick question about Roaming Profiles : Is there a way to force > Windows to use Roaming Profils only on the share network, and without > local copy ? > > I set Roaming Profile on a samba share with a GPO, but some users have > a big profile so login is very slow > > Thanks > > Tom >-- Stefan Kania Landweg 13 25693 St. Michaelisdonn Signieren jeder E-Mail hilft Spam zu reduzieren und sch?tzt Ihre Privatsph?re.
