Replacing windows 7 computer

Replacing windows 7 computer

We have windows domain environment. on of or users works at the office as well as remotely connecting through VPN. So he has a laptop that he uses at the office as his own workstation and the same laptop uses it to work remotely

for some reason his laptop crashed, and we need to provide him a new laptop with windows 7, the same OS he had on the defunct laptop.

We use Home Folders configured through AD account properties/Profile of the user. We do not use folder redirections.

I wonder if we need to configure anything else , before we give him the new laptop.

we have already joined the laptop to the domain , installed software he needs... I am wondering what else we need to configure so that when he works remotely, he will not run into issues.

any idea?

Thanks

I am concerned much about the profile, than individual apps.
Because the new laptop is an image of what he had in the old laptop…

We specify home folder through AD user account properties/Profile tab.

I wonder if with new laptop, it will seamless to end user in matter of where he can find his files.
