create roaming profile for every user can save lot of work, i had calculated it before that it saved us about 15% maintenance labor force. which means less IT employees.
the desktop support in the company have more free time since we applied roaming profile 2 years ago.

this month, we crecruited 2 new employees since 2 helpdesk staff has resigned, so that i need give them the instructions again.
there usually only 2 steps to roaming profile for new user.very simple, but to those existing users. an extra copy step need to be done which is optional.

step to create a roaming profile.
1. create a domain user in one of the domain servers.
1.1 login to server as domain admins.
1.2 click "start" -> administrative tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers
1.3 select coresponding department OU that the user belong to, right click then select "new" -> user.
1.4 follow the wizard.
1.5 right click the new user, select " properties", select the configuration file tab, in the configuration path, fill \\domainserver\profiles\%username%

step 2. create the profile folder
2.1 create a folder same as user login name in d:\profiles\.
2.2 setup permission for this new created user folder which will store user roaming profile.
privilege list for the user profile folder:
full control: create owner, the new user, system, administrator
list file& directory only: domain administrators
remove any other users(users;domain users. etc) from the privilege list.
now done for new roaming user.
