Roaming User

In active directory users and computers go to user account and in the properties/profile tab enter something like this.

\\servername\share\%username%

Just replace servername and share with your server and shared folder.
You will need to create a shared folder giving him access to it on the server.  I would also redirect my documents and application data through group policy also.  Whenever he goes from machine to machine he will have his settings.

Hi dheinmiller,

I would also look at re-directing the 'my documents' folder using a group policy, otherwise the profile can take an age to load if the user has a lot of files in there. You can also make some other changes in GP's that can help streamline roaming profiles.

Good Luck,

Chris

Can I have a roaming profile and use redirects in Group Policy? For Example
I setup the roaming profile and it seemed to work.
Then i setup redirect the Desktop, Appication, My Documents, programs in active directory. Then everything stoped working.
I then removed the profile setting and just used the active directory settings.
This seems to work well except outlook is not setup, and the internet home page and desktop wall paper are different.

Any Suggestions?
what would you recommend  I use?
 all the active directory redirection features or roaming profile?
or Both?

Also any suggestions on how to make outlook work, wallpaper and internet home page on any workstation?

Everyone, Thanks for the help!
Kevin, your fast answers were very helpful!

Anytime dheinmiller. :)
