The roaming profile is a copy of the local profile that is copied to another, usually central location. The profile is downloaded to any computer that a user logs onto on a network. The changes that are made to the roaming user profile are synchronized to the central location when the user logs off.
Using another computer or virtual machine will contain the same changes that are made within the user profile as the profile is synchronized at user logon. Important note, version of the roaming user profile changes with the different versions of Windows.
More information can be found here. The mandatory user profile is a type of profile that administrators can use to apply a specific setting to the users. Only administrators can make changes to the mandatory user profile. All changes that are made by the user will be lost at user logoff as the profile will be discarded. Temporary profiles are deleted at the end of the session and all changes are discarded. The goal of the research is to validate the impact of the different profile types.
In a virtual desktop environment, it is common to use a user environment management UEM solution. This is used to apply adjustments and often synchronized specific settings within the user profile. As the goal is to validate the different profile types using a UEM solution is out of scope.
This research will contain the following scenarios:. In this research, no folder redirection is used. As always, the default infrastructure is used which is described here.
It is very important to know this research is done in a stateless environment which means all changes are discarded. The default testing methodology is used for this research which is described here. It is known roaming profiles is not recommended in a virtual desktop use-case. All settings will be synchronized to the central location which can grow over time.
This is all depending on the number of applications and data stored in the profile. By default, there is limited control, so this will result in a higher load of the copy action and slower logon times.
Using a local or mandatory profile should be the most efficient way for a virtual desktop scenario. The mandatory profile is created using the Sysprep method which is described on the Microsoft website here. The profile is stripped as much as possible till the size is the KB. The VSImax is the defacto industry standard metric and is calculated a score to detriment the saturation point of the virtual desktop environment.
More information about the VSImax is explained here. If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt. Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste. Log off, and then log back on as the new user. If you have e mail messages in an e mail program, you must import your e mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile.

Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I ran disk clean-up and defrag and every other clean-up known to man. I had this same issue about a year after I first installed Windows 7 Pro. I didn't think at that time to try and recreate the user profile so I just rebuilt the whole system. I tried safe mode and there was no change.
As for the size not being too big, I have never had anything larger than 20GB at most. In fact when Windows stopped holding my folder settings large icons and coming up with detailed list, that's when the profile began to grow and things began to go crazy.
I have been told by Microsoft that anything over 20GB is way too big so I'm confused. Yesterday I tried to plug in my laptop into my system as I have a small home network and I couldn't get it to connect. About fours months ago I had a hard drive fail and was able to clone it to the new one. That decreased the user profile size to around 28GB.
Also, I forgot to mention that the space on the C: drive is being depleted by something. On occasion the space will recover. It's usually the same amount of space that the user profile changes.
I have a feeling that the profile has become corrupt. My question is why won't the system allow me to copy the profile to the new user account as Windows help says it will.
It's simply greyed out. I wanted to let you know that I downloaded the file and it looks like the hog of the system is the Microsoft updates. Nothing appears to be out of the ordinary so now I'm wondering if I'm going down the wrong path. All I know is that my web performance is suffering the worst.
Perhaps some setting got changed. It took about 10 minutes to download that small "tree size free" file.
