I'm looking into allowing users to remote desktop into their office computers, but currently we have both roaming profiles and remote desktop profiles enabled. &nbsp;I'm wondering what would happen when the user logs into his computer during the day and locks his computer, but doesn't log off. &nbsp;Then, attempts to connect via rdp to the same computer later on in the day using the same account. &nbsp;What type of profile would be used in this scenario?

using roaming profiles and remote desktop profiles concurrently?

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Roaming profiles

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
