(I promise you that URL wrapped.) 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. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano > Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 12:22 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles > > I have a question about roaming profiles: Is there a way to > restrict the size of a profile?
