[edit] Method of operation

All Windows operating systems since Windows 2000 are designed from the start to be able to

support roaming profiles. Normally, a standalone computer stores the user's documents, desktop

items, application preferences, and desktop appearance on the local computer in two divided

sections, consisting of the portion that could roam plus an additional temporary portioncontaining items such as the web browser cache. TheWindows registryis similarly divided tosupport roaming; there are System and Local Machine hives that stay on the local computer, plus

a separate User hive (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) designed to be able to roam with the user

profile.

When a roaming user is created, the user's profile information is instead stored on a centralizedfile server accessible from any network-joined desktop computer. The login prompt on the local

computer checks to see if the user exists in the domain rather than on the local computer; no pre-

existing account is required on the local computer. If the domain login is successful, the roamingprofile is copied from the central file server to the desktop computer, and a local account is

created for the user.

When the user logs off from the desktop computer, the user's roaming profile is copied from thelocal computer back to the central file server, not including the temporary local profile items.

Because this is a copy and not a move/delete, the user's profile information remains on the localcomputer in addition to being copied to the network.

When the user logs in again on a different desktop computer, this process repeats, copying theroaming profile from the server to the second desktop computer, and then copying back from the

desktop to the server when the user logs off.

When the user goes back to the first computer where they had previously logged in, when they

login the roaming profile is copied over the previous profile information, replacing it. If profile

caching is enabled, the server is capable of only copying the newest files to the local computer,reusing the existing local files that have not changed since the last login, and thereby speeding up

the login process.

Additionally, Microsoft includes a feature known as "slow link" detection, which if the network

connection is below a certain threshold, the roaming profile is not copied and the user is loggedinto the local cached copy directly. Though this leaves the user accessing an older copy of theirdocuments, and so may be unproductive for the user.

[edit] Profile copying limitations

[edit] Roaming reduces network performance

A roaming profile that is several years old can contain tens of thousands of cookies, which make

network login and logout extremely slow, and contribute to file system fragmentation.

Due to the profile copying at login and logout, a roaming profile set up using the defaultconfiguration can be extremely slow and waste considerable amounts of time for users with large

amounts of data in their account.

When Microsoft designedInternet Explorer, the programmers made an explicit decision to storecookies and favorites as tiny individual files less than a kilobyte each, rather than storing this

data as a single large consolidated file, such as the bookmark.html file used byMozilla Firefox.

Microsoft also storesshortcutfiles in theRecentprofile folder, linking to recently opened files

and folders.

File servers tend to only transfer large files several megabytes in size at the fastest possible

network speed. Hundreds of very small files only a kilobyte per file can reduce network

performance by 90%. As a profile ages and accumulates hundreds to thousands of cookies,favorites, and Recent items, the login and logout times become progressively slower, even

though these files occupy only a few megabytes of profile data.

Local caching of the user profile on a desktop computer hard drive can reduce and improve login

and logout times, but at the penalty of cluttering up the hard drive with profile data from everycached user who logs in. Local caching is more suitable where people tend to use the same

computer every day. Local profile caching is not useful where hundreds to thousands of students

need to be able to use any computer across a school or university campusthe cumulative

cached data from so many different profiles can consume all available lab computer disk space.

[edit] Roaming profiles and WAN links

Users with a roaming profile can encounter crippling logon delays when logging in over a WAN.

If connected to the domain from a remote site, after authentication, Windows will attempt to pullthe user's profile from the location specified inActive Directory. If the location happens to be

across a WAN link it can potentially slow the WAN down to a crawl and cause the logon to fail(after a very lengthy delay).

Users with a roaming profile working from a remote site should login to the machine before

connecting to the network, (so that the machine uses its cached local copy) and connect to thenetwork after logon has completed. Another option is to remove the roaming profile path from

Active Directory prior to their departure. This must be done in enough time that the change isreplicated to the relevantDomain Controllerat the remote site.

[edit] Not compatible with gigabytes of user files

DVvideo editing in a roaming profile generally results in unacceptably slow login times because

the video file segments are also copied back and forth from server to desktop. A one-hour 15

gigabyte DV file takes 20 minutes to copy over a 100 megabit LAN connection. If this werepresent in a roaming profile it would take at least 20 minutes for the user to login and 20 minutes

to logout.

Even for small DV editing projects consisting of several short source clips, each clip still uses250 megabytes per minute, and typically the source clips are retained when creating the final DV

movie project. A small project consisting of four 5 minute clips to generate one 10 minute

movie, totals 7.5 gigabytes of DV data, and requires at least 10 minutes to transfer over a 100megabit network connection before the user's desktop appears and they can begin to do any

work.

In a school environment where such editing projects are not mission-critical and do not

absolutely need to be backed up on an expensive tape archive system every night, theapplications requiring such excessively large amounts of user data are instead usually run on a

stand-alone local account that does not roam, to bypass these network storage and retrieval

problems.

[edit] Third-party companies don't use it correctly

Example of a third-party software (Sun MicrosystemsJava) storing temporary files and software

updates in the roaming profile. The bloated roaming profile makes login and logout times

increased. The stored updates shown are unnecessary after installation, yet they are not deleted.

Many third-party companies do not understand the difference between the roaming part of theprofile and the non-roaming temporary section, and so will store their temporary files in theroaming portion, adding megabytes of unnecessary data to the profile and increasing the roaming

login and logout times. Some go as far as intentionally storing data in the wrong location, as a

method of encouraging the purchase of more expensive "enterprise" versions of their software.[1]

[edit] Mass-user logins/logouts cause congestion

In a school environment, roaming can result in severe network congestion and slowness when an

entire lab of students log off of computers at the same time, and then within minutes are

attempting to login in somewhere else. Account data inconsistency problems can result if the

students begin to login in the second location before the profile uploading and logout from thefirst location has finished.

[edit] Misbehaving third-party programs don't exit

Some programs installed on desktop computers do not properly release control of the Userregistry during logoff, and can result in corrupted profiles because the User registry copying

never successfully completes. To deal with this, Microsoft created a utility known as the User

Profile Hive Cleanup Service which will forcefully remap thefile handlesfor these misbehaving

programs so that the profile copying can finish successfully and the account logoff issuccessful.[2]However, the hung program may remain on the local computer still holding the

local cached copy of the User registry in a busy state, until the computer is rebooted.

[edit] Roaming accounts don't backup until logoff

The most recent version of a file in a roaming profile without redirection is stored only on the

local computer, and stays there until the user logs off, whereupon it transfers to the server. If

nightly server backups are done, but a roaming user does not log off for days at a time, their

roaming account documents are not being included in the nightly backup.

Further, if a roaming user uses standby or hibernation to turn off the computer at night, their

profile is still not copied to the network. In this manner it is possible for a roaming account'sdocuments to not be backed up for days to weeks at a time, and there is the potential for

considerable data loss if the local hard drive suffers a catastrophic failure during these long

periods of not logging off the roaming account from the local computer.

[edit] Multiple logins can overwrite each other

Due to the underlying file copying mechanism from server to desktop, roaming assumes the user

account is logged on to only a single computer at a time. Documents in a roaming profile copied

down to the local machine have no network awareness of each other, and it is not possible to usefile lockingto alert the user that the file is already open.

Logging onto multiple computers with one account, and opening the same document multipletimes on each computer can result in inconsistencies and loss of saved changes if the file is

modified on two different computers at the same time:

When the first computer with the modified document logs off, the changes are written to thenetwork copy of the profile.

When the second computer logs off, the different document version overwrites thepreviously saved changes during profile logout.

[edit] Folder redirection to improve performance

To deal with these profile copying problems, it is possible to override the default operation of

roaming, and set up user accounts so that certain parts of the profile are accessed by the local

computer directly on a central file server rather than copying to the local computer first .

[3]

Thisrequires that the central server and network be extremely reliable and always available, because

if the server is down, users can not access their files from a local cached copy.

To the end-user, folder redirection generally does not appear to function any differently from

using a normal standalone computer. Redirecting the user's My Documents and Desktop to be

accessed directly on a file server are the first two big steps for speeding up roaming profiles.However, as 3rd party software have begun to store more and more data in the Application

Dataportion of the roaming profile, it has also become useful to redirect that to also be accessed

directly on the server.

The question may be raised as to why the entire roaming profile can not be accessed directly on

the server, and no copying needs to be done at all. The reasoning for this appears to be that

certain Microsoft programs running all the time on the client computer can not tolerate thesudden loss of their data folders if the server goes down or the network is disconnected. Some

portions must still be copied back and forth before the desktop appears so that these folders areavailable if the network-redirected folders go down.

[edit] Limitations of redirection

An example of an application detecting its preferences files in use on another computer, due to

redirecting the "Application Data" folder to be accessed directly on a file server.

Roaming folder redirection is not compatible with laptop users who take their computer homewith them. Normally the entire local cached copy of the profile would be available when the

laptop is used away from the building network, but with redirection the most important portions

are not stored locally and so are unavailable when used away from the network. Microsoft Direct

Access system allows users to connect to the building network over a WAN link transparently.

RedirectingApplication Data and logging on multiple times running the same program on eachcomputer can result in corruption of the application settings, due to multiple programs trying to

access the same settings files on the server. Some programs such asOpenOffice.orgwill detect if

the preferences are in use somewhere else and alert the user.

[edit] Redirection limitations ofUNCpaths

Some programs do not work properly with redirected profile folders that refer to a UNC file path

on a server share:\\server\share\username\Application Data

Adobe Readerhas been incompatible with Application Data located on a UNC file path sinceat least version 9.0, which would crash with a runtime error

[4]

. Adobe Reader X (10.0) ispartially compatible but will not run in document protection mode on a UNC path.

Open Office3.3 is similarly incompatible with Application Data on a UNC path, and thesoftware crashes on startup.[5]A fix has been developed and will be available in an upcoming

release.

These problems with UNC paths can usually be fixed by having the folders redirected to a drive

mapping for the UNC share:

[edit] Mandatory profiles

[edit] Folder redirection with mandatory profiles

Folder redirection may be used with mandatory profiles, and is useful in situations where it is

desirable to "lock down" the general desktop appearance but still allow users to save documents

to the network. For example, this can be used as a generic account for anyone to use without apassword for temporary use.

Redirecting MyDocuments and theDesktop in a mandatory profile will allow documents to be

saved, but at logoff, any changes to the desktop appearance such as the desktop picture, InternetExplorer cookies, Favorites, and the Recent documents opened list are reverted to the originalstate.

[edit] Setup methods

[edit] Active Directory

A roaming user profile must first be set up on thedomain controllerto which client computers

are joined. InWindows 2000and later versions, this is set using theActive DirectoryUsers and

Computers snap-in.Windows NT 4.0and earlier used the User Manager for Domains program.A user profile location is set on the server and can be customized, as required. When a user logs

onto a domain, the roaming user profile is downloaded from the server onto the local computerand applied. When the user logs off, the changes made to the roaming profile are transferred

back to the domain controller.

Although a roaming user profile may be stored in any shared folder of a computer available

inside a local Microsoft Windows network, using the domain controller is recommended becausethe profile data should be available at any workstation the user tries to log on to. Should theserver not be available, the user will still be able to log on using a cached copy of the profile on

his workstation, unless the profile is super-mandatory.

Enabling roaming profiles for a workstation running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,

Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business or Ultimate is done by specifying a location

on the server where the users' profiles are located; this is done under User Manager for Domains

in Windows NT 4.0 Server andActive Directory Users and Computers in Windows 2000 andlater. Workstations runningWindows 95, 98 or Mecan also have roaming profiles, roaming

profiles become available in Windows 9x when a home directory on the network is specified for

the user and multiple desktop settings have been enabled under the Passwords box in the

Windows Control Panel.

Roaming profiles on Windows 95, 98 and Me are all compatible with each other so if a network

has mixture of Windows 95 and Windows 98 workstations the same user profile may be used for

each workstation. This is also the case with Roaming profiles between Windows NT 4.0,Windows 2000, Windows XP but there may be some compatibility issues due to differences in

each version of Windows. Roaming profiles in Windows Vista and Windows 7 are compatiblewith each other but these versions are not compatible with earlier versions of Windows. A

separate profile folder with the extension .V2 will be created when using Roaming profiles with

Windows Vista or 7. The easiest solution is to have all workstations running the same version ofWindows. (see Compatibility section)

[edit] Novell eDirectory

For roaming to work withNovellservers, the Novell product "ZENworksDesktop Management"

needs to be installed on the server, and its associated workstation management package installedon each of the client computers. Within the directory, a User Package object is created, which

enables roaming, specifies where the roaming profile is stored, and also stores any associatedgroup policies for each version of Windows where users will login. The User Package also

enablesDynamic Local User, which functions similar to Active Directory, allowing an account

created in eDirectory to login on any desktop computer even if no local account exists inadvance, and assigns local account privileges such as User, Power User, or Administrator to the

newly created local user account.

The User Package can be associated with a specific user account in the directory, or is associated

with anorganizational unitthat then applies to all user accounts within that OU. The User

Package also enables additional ZENworks Desktop Management functions, such as remote viewand remote control of the desktop computer, network printers that follow the user from one

desktop to the next, and the scheduling of events that are to be run wherever the user is logged

in.

[edit] Windows 3.x

While Windows 3.x does not contain user profiles it was possible for users to have their ownpersonalised desktop in a business environment. Windows 3.x had an administrative setup option

which network administrators could use by typing setup.exe /a Windows could then be installed

to a network share. Windows setup was then run from each local machine to install a few local

files making Windows 3.1 capable of being run over a network. The local files could be saved toa user's home directory on a Novell or Windows NT Domain network allowing the user to have

his or her settings roam between machines, the local machine in this scenario did not require a

hard drive and could have been booted from a floppy or network card.

Enforcement of administrative control by using mandatory user profiles which helps toprotect the user's environment from being damaged by the user himself/herself.

Users can access their data anywhere in the network with more reliability Easier backup as most data is in one location on the server

[edit] Disadvantages of roaming user profiles

Each time a user logs into a workstation, all of the files and settings are transferred over thenetwork; the result is that the login process takes longer than if the user were to use a local

profile. This is particularly the case if the profile is large in size. The login time may be reduced

if the profile is cached as some files can be loaded from the local workstation and by using folder

redirection to redirect folders that can grow to a large size, likeMy Documents, to a networkshare.

However, this limitation has been addressed in Windows Server 2008 Active Directory byallowingfolder redirectionof virtually all folders that were previously stored in a user's profile

(including My Music, Favorites, and others) to a centralized and secured network share. Thismeans that a user's roaming profile can easily be reduced to size smaller than 20MB, thus

eliminating the long login times that were experienced with previous versions of AD. Whenusing folder redirection and automatic caching ofoffline files, all of a user's files and preferences

are available offline and synced in a much more efficient manner than previously possible when

the computer is reconnected to the network usingRemote Differential Compression(RDC).

Another problem is related to different set of applications installed on machines, applications

stores information into Local Settings and some into the registry, but only the registry istransferred across. It can corrupt application functionality under roaming profile.

[edit] 2000/XP and Vista/Win7 compatibility

While Windows XP and Windows 2000 profiles are basically similar, Windows Vista and its

successor Windows 7 use an entirely different profile structure. Thus, a user who switches-deskbetween the two classes of OS cannot have personal data transferred automatically, as would

normally happen with roaming profiles. Instead, two distinct server-side profiles are created for

this user.

This is an important consideration for any site intending to introduce Vista or Windows 7

computers into an existing Windows 2000/XP roaming-profile network. If possible it should be

planned that users will not have to migrate regularly between the two classes of OS.

Windows Vista and 7 will get their profile stored on the server with .V2 added (example:

\\server\profiles\username.V2)

Redirected network folders are able to override the separation between 2000/XP and Vista/Win7.

For example, both types of profiles can be redirected to use a single Documents folder, and asingle Desktop folder, so that the user's account documents are consistent between the two

profiles, even if all other account settings will be different.

Redirected sharing of folders such as Application Data may lead to data corruption, sinceMicrosoft did not intend this for their application data to be shared between the different OS

versions.

settings. May be preferable to Roaming Profiles for small-site networks, data-entry stations and

the like.

AppSenseUser Virtualization- Solution Description from officialAppSenseproduct overview

document: "User Virtualizationis recognized as the most effective and scalable approach tomanaging the user component of the desktop.

User Virtualizationis an infrastructure technology solution that virtualizes, centralizes, managesand applies the user environment on to a desktop as required.User Virtualizationspans all

desktops across multiple OS platforms, desktop and application delivery mechanisms, devices

and locations.

By separating the user from the desktop and managing it as a separate component, organizations

can adopt multi-platform/delivery mechanism desktop environments.AppSensesimplifies

desktop management overhead, reduces operational costs, improves end user experience and

ensure that user settings and corporate policy is applied to set up, configure and personalize adesktop, no matter how that desktop is delivered or where it is hosted."

Liquidware Labs' User Virtualization Management Solution, ProfileUnity- Solution description

from official document - "ProfileUnity is a lightweight yet powerful user virtualization

management solution. ProfileUnity runs without any software to install on end-point PCs orvirtual machines. At logon a managed profile is synched with the local user session in Windows

own native format. No databases or additional servers are relied upon, thus keeping cost and

complexity low. The solution is scalable to hundreds of thousands of users in a single

organization due to its lightweight approach of compressing the user profile, registry, andsettings while in storage yet fully uncompressing it in native format on the end-point. Because

ProfileUnity uses Windows native format, organizations can use the solution for migration onlyor leave it installed for heterogeneous Windows desktops to exist."
