Frank,
Holy cow! Are you serious? 1GB profiles? Are
you sure you dont mean Home Directories?
Q) If you have a 265mb link and a 1GB profile and a
100 Mbps connection, how long does it take to download a profile during peak
usage (i.e. first thing in the morning)?
(I am in a Math 102 class right now)
A) If the user has 25.6Mbps available to his/herself
at the time it would take 86 hrs 48 mins and 20 seconds to download their
profile (with zero utilization).
Why do you not restrict the amount of data allowable in the
profile based upon industry standards, taking into account your site level
connection speed?
Like most organizations, we deal with them by restricting
the size.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Roaming Profiles
Hi all,
I have a question regarding Roaming Profiles. Our environment currently
have 3500 users which are all roaming profile enabled. Their profiles are stored
on the local site server. We have approx 56 sites which are all linked by
256-1mb lines.
I like the concept of roaming profiles, however some of our users have
profiles ranging from 5mb - 200mb, some even with 1GB profiles.
Because alot of our users log on to different computers at different sites,
we are finding issues with corrupted profiles and logon speeds. On a few
occasions, where a user has been added to a group, the permissions assign to
this group are not shown when the users is logged back on. Deleting the profile
and recreating fixes this issue but it's quite a time consuming effort.
How does everyone deal with roaming profiles if used? sometimes there are
instances where users just want to logon to the PC without their roaming profile
so they can remot! e desktop to their PC. In this situation they have to take
their profile across which can take forever depending on the size of profile and
link.
Any creative ideas? how about using DFS to store the profiles?
Thanks
Frank
