Re: restrict roaming profile by computer?



hi,
The Roaming User Profile attribute for a user (the location of the roaming
profile, if set) is stored in the user account object within Active
Directory. Due to the order in which profiles are applied, as related to the
application of Group Policy, this parameter cannot be set through Group
Policy.

By using Group Policy loopback processing (replace mode for what you want)
you can force a computer account to act like a user and apply user settings
that you specify rather than the roaming profile of the person logging on.

These settings are typically used to create a Kiosk (what you're doing) or
to manage Terminal Server.

White paper with some sample GPOs -

If I place a separate workstation in its own OU, how does that restrict the
roaming profile? The roaming profile is set up on a per user basis. Even if
the workstation was not affected by group policy, wouldn't the roaming
profile still take affect or is there a setting somewehre in group policy
that will restrict this????

hello,

You may use the GPO to not load the roaming profile (use a local one
instead) and one other that doesn't update the roaming profile on logoff.

Put all these special workstation in a separate OU or in a group on which
you will apply these GPO.

How can you restrict a roaming profile by a computer basis? If we have
users
that occasionally log on to other pcs to do scanning, and go back and
forth
all day, how does that affect the roaming profile.

Does a roaming profile save the last place you log on? What's typically
the
best method when a few users sign on to the same computer for other work
related items? Would it be best to create on universal log on for one pc.

Anyone have any exerience in this or have any suggestions.
