Reducing disk space use, profile size, and logon processing

To save disk space, you can use the Delete cached copies of roaming
profiles policy setting to specify that locally cached versions of
roaming user profiles be deleted when the user logs off. This setting is
in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User
Profiles node of the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in.

To manage the user profile size, use the Limit profile size policy
setting. This setting is in the User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\User Profiles node of the Group Policy Object Editor
snap-in. You can set the maximum size of the roaming user profile and
determine the system's response when the limit is reached. When you set
this policy, the Proquota.exe program is enabled. This program alerts
users when their user profile exceeds a predefined limit, and it
prevents users from logging off until the size of the profile files is
reduced.

To reduce both profile size and logon processing time, you can use the
Exclude directories in roaming profile setting to designate certain
folders to exclude from the user's profile. This setting is in the User
Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles node of the
Group Policy Object Editor.
