profilepath - User ProfileWorking 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. -- shawnm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawnm's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/shawnm.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/active-directory/1074612.htmhttp://forums.techarena.in hello there,
let me try to explain to you, when you have created a window account, if they is no profile set ,once the user login it will create a profile in his/her notebook or pc.The profile path we use when we want to have a better control in these 2 manner 1)when user notebook crash, he/she can use other notebook and will have back the same setting 2)where by you want to control the user profile such as they cant change thier profile and so on where it been change to mandatory (ntuser.dat to ntuser.man) Is these what you looking for the explanation? -- Show quoteHide quoteWong Chon Kit Microsoft Certified Trainer Microsoft Certified System Engineer Technical System Specialist "shawnm" wrote: > > Working with an extremely large active directory population and we are > trying to identify certain user object types.

your post) is to provide two main benefits: - ensure consistent experience of users regardless of a computer they log on to by keeping copy of their settings in a shared network location (represented by the path which example you listed), - preserve user settings in case their computer becomes unavailable (e.g. as the result of hardare failure). Unfortunately it is fairly difficult to implement roaming profiles such that both of these goals are reached - at least without negative side effects (profile corruption, incompatible profile settings on different computers, size affecting logon time and disk space on servers and workstations, to mention just few of them). As the result, it's not uncommon to see user accounts configured without them (it's not necessary to have a roaming profile configured in order to log on to Active Directory)... hth Marcin Show quoteHide quote "shawnm" <shawnm.3j5grb@DoNotSpam.com> wrote in message news:shawnm.3j5grb@DoNotSpam.com... > > Working with an extremely large active directory population and we are > trying to identify certain user object types.
