Re: profilepath - User Profile

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Why as referring to the fact that some folders don't roam with users between different workstations, for example localSettings folder where some users store there pst by default.

he asked what the profilePath does and I believe I answered the question.

This is not entirely true, there some folders that are excluded from roaming profiles and you can also have polices that exclude some folders from local vs. roaming profile.

the profilePath attribute stores the location on the network where the roaming profile is stored. That way, independent of where you logon, you will always get the same profile. If it is not configured you will use a local profile at each machine you logon to and is therefore differernt

Working with an extremely large active directory population and we are
trying to identify certain user object types. We thought those included
all objects that did not have a profilepath. However we noticed that we
were capturing objects we did not want.

Can somebody please explain (in lay terms I'm a project manager with
limited IT background but have working knowledge of AD) what the User
Profile path (similar to the one below see in ADUC and our AD reports)
does and why would there be objects created without one?

\\server#1.fully.qualified.domain.name\joe.a.user$\wsprofile


We have many "user" objects in AD that do not log onto the network and
do not have this profile path. We assumed that all objects that were
created minus this path could not log on to the network.
