Great. Any suggestions that don't cost an arm and three legs would be appreciated. J

But honestly, if you can get a decent profile management tool, it would be worth it in spades, as the amount of GPO redirection and user manipulaton options available now are very wide-ranging and useful. There may be other options out there....YMMV On 19 July 2010 20:07, John Aldrich <[email protected]> wrote: Yikes. With an IT staff of just one (me) I don't think I want to go that route.

We used AppSense with mandatory profiles which was vastly better, we have now moved on to using Citrix Profile Management (which integrates nicely as it uses GPOs to deploy) and it is much better than Windows profile handling. In fact, I'd go so far as to say MS could learn a lot about profile handling by looking at CPM. We haven't had more than two corrupted profiles since we went live three months ago. In the windws-onlydays, we'd get that many per day.

I'm looking at setting up roaming profiles (eventually, when I get a storage appliance to handle the disk space requirements) for desktop D/R (in case of a virus getting in and trashing the PC or something.) Also, can you exclude things like "My Music" and "My Pictures" from roaming profiles? I'd rather *not* be backing up people's personal files.
