Roaming user profile - Misbehaving third-party programs don't exit

1 To deal with this, Microsoft created a utility known as the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service which will forcefully remap the file handles for these

misbehaving programs so that the profile copying can finish successfully and the account logoff is

successful.[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1B286E6D-8912-4E18-B570-42470E2F3582 User Profile Hive Cleanup

Roaming user profile - Active Directory

1 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 because the profile data

should be available at any workstation the user tries to log on to. Should the server 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.
