Types of User Profiles
1. Local User Profile: A local user profile is created the first time a user log on to a
computer and is stored on a computer’s HD. Any changes made to a local user profile are
specific to the coomputer on whidch they are made. By default, local user profiles are stored inthe %Systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%Username% folder. When a user initially logs on, the
system creates a user profile by copying the Default User profile. The new profile is given a name
based on the user’s logon name. Any changes made to the users desktop and software environment
are stored in the local user profile.. The All Users profile, which can contain shortcuts in the desktop or
starmenu, network places, and even application data. The contenets of the All Users profile are
combined with the user’s profile to create the user environment. Only members of the Administrators
group can modify the All Users profile. If user logs on to another system, the local profile does not
follow. The new system behaves as described above, generating a new local profile for the user if it
the user’s first logging on to that system.

2. Roaming ProfileRoaming User Profile: It is created by the
system administrator. It is stored on a server
and is available every time the user logs on to
any computer on the network. Changes made to
roaming user profiles are updated on the
server.. This profile is used for users who move
between computers. This is stored on a network
server so that it is accessible regardless of
which computer a user logs on to within the
domain.. There are 2 ways of placing user
profiles on a server. The first is to upload user
profiles that are stored locally on clinetcomputers to the designated server.The second
involves creating and customising a user profile
on a client computer for use as an
organisational standard and manually copying it
to the server that stores the roaming
profiles.User profiles and home folders should
be created on a NTFS volume for increased
security. Roaming user profiles that are used
wih Terminal Services clients are not copied to
the server until the interactive user logs off and
the sesssing is closed.

3. Mandatory User
ProfileMandatory User Profile: It is a roaming
profile that can be used to specify particular
settings for individuals or an entire group of
users. Only system administrators canchange mandatory user profiles. This is a
profile that is not updated when the user
logs off, it is donwloaded to the user’s
desktop each time athe user logs on, and it
is created by an administrator and assigned
to one or more users to create consistent or
job-specific user profiles. Only members ofthe administrators group can change
mandatory profiles. The user can still modify
the desktop, but the changes are nnot saved
when the user logs off. The next time the
user log on, the mandatory user profile is
downloaded again. User profiles become
mandatory when you rename the
Ntuser.dat f file on the server toNtuser.man. The administrator can assign
the same user profile to as many users as
needed.
