In Windows NT, roaming user profiles are stored on a network share accessible to the user. This share is typically set up on a server, allowing the user's profile data to be downloaded to any workstation they log into. The profile information is synchronized between the user's local machine and the server upon login and logout, ensuring that personal settings and files are consistent across different devices. The path for the roaming profile is specified in the user account settings in the Active Directory.
A Roaming profile is where setting established by a user at one computer are stored in a file on a file server on the network and shared with all computers in the workgroup, When a user moves from one computer to the next in the workgroup the roaming profile follows the user so that he or she does not have to redo settings at each computer. A Mandatory profile is a roaming profile that applies to all users in a user group, and individual users cannot change that profile. It is used in situations were users perform only specific job-related task.
