Hello, I have one user for which I set up a roaming profile, this user is used to log on to 300 PCs, I noticed that at log off PCs update the roaming profile. I need a quick method to prevent local machines from updating roaming profile on server when they log off, this will make life easier. I also found good practices to include in a script: Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Name: DeleteRoamingCache Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 To prevent logging to EventLog: Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Name: EventLog Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0 You will have to stop and restart the spooler from services in the Control Panel but you may wish to reboot. If you want roaming profiles to not include certain folders, you can exclude them. Excluding internet temporary files, cookies, and outlook files can keep the roaming profile small. To exclude folders: Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Name: ExcludeProfileDirs Type: REG_SZ Value: Temporary Internet Files;Cookies;Recent;History;Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook But I don't think they solve the roaming profile updating problem when PCs log off. I don't know if there are other solutions to this problem, or if this behavior for roaming profiles can be changed. The funny thing is that I am using a mandatory profile, I don't understand why PCs update the roaming profile after all. Thanks
