If you want users to have their profile remain with them when logging on to a various workstation you can setup roaming profiles that will follow them where they go.

To setup roaming profiles, initially log onto server and open Active Directory users and PCs. Right tick on a user; select properties and go to profiles tab. In profile box type UNC path of shared folder you created on server. E.g. you would type:

\\servername\profiles\%username%

Where there is name of your server and profiles folder is on C drive. Do not type in users name at end but ensure that it says username similar to in example.

Ensure that you have made this profiles folder and shared it with similar name as folder. You can leave share permissions wide open if you would like because the %username% will make users profile with authorizations that allowance only user the right to view contents.

When user logs in, user’s local profile will be copied to latest profiles folder on server making a folder with users name and permissions set up so that only user can access it.
