Re: A way to turn off ALL roaming profiles?

Which logon and logoff is slow?
Logging on to the domain on the XP box, or login on to the Terminal
Server when you start the rdp session?

Where are home directories and roaming profiles stored? On a
separate fileserver, on the Terminal Server, on the Domain
Controller? How many servers are there and what is their role in
the domain? Are you running Active Directory?

If logon to the Terminal Server is slow, then you can change the
profile path for all users with a Group Policy:

Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services
"Set path for TS Roaming Profiles"
