Before you create a roaming user profile, you need to create each user account. Then, log on to a server as an administrator to create a network share to store the roaming user profiles, designate the groups of users to receive the roaming user profiles, and grant all users Full Control permissions.
Use the following procedures when you create and manage roaming user profiles.
Creating Roaming User Profiles
To perform the following procedure, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. For enhanced security, consider using the Runas command to perform this procedure.
To create a roaming user profile
|
1. |
Open Active Directory Users and Computers. |
|
2. |
Click the domain and the OU where the user account resides. |
|
3. |
Right-click the user account for which to set a roaming profile, and then click Properties. |
|
4. |
Click the Profile tab, and then type the profile path information in Profile path. (Use the full path in each user account. For example, type \ServerShareNameUserName.) |
Another way to populate the profile path is to use an Active Directory® Service Interfaces (ADSI) script. ADSI provides a single set of interfaces for managing resources on the network. You can use ADSI in combination with Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JScript scripts to manage Active Directory resources such as users and services.
For information about ADSI and ADSI scripts, see the Microsoft Platform SDK link on the Web Resources page if(typeof(IsPrinterFriendly) != "undefined") { var l = "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=291"; var nl; var c = l.charAt(0); var o = document.getElementById("EQB"); switch (c){ case "/": nl=(" [http://" + document.domain + l + "]"); break case "#": nl=(""); break default: nl=" [" + l + "]" } if(o != null) o.innerHTML = nl; } at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources.
