Roaming Profiles In Windows SBS 2011

We have a few users, mostly XP on a SBS 2011 that sometime move to a co-workers computer.  What is the benefit to setting up roaming profiles?  Disadvantages?  How hard are they to setup and implement?

SBS, and only SBS, has a built-in wizard that will accomplish much of what you are wanting to achieve. Simply go to: SBS console | shared Folders and Web Sites | Shared Folders | on the menu on the right select "Redirect folders for Users accounts to the server".
This then allows the redirected My Documents to be available on any PC to which they logon. Desktop and Start menu items are also sync'd if Vista or newer PC's.
