Profile Management

A Windows profile is essentially an individual's personal settings on his or her workstation or desktop. From display settings such as wallpapers and screen savers to network and printer connections, the user profile is where all changes and modifications are customized and stored.  triCerat's profile management solutions make it easy to ensure efficient and scalable organization of these user profiles.

Within Citrix and Terminal Services, if you have a multitude of users with differentiating needs, personalizing user desktops may be key to maximizing your organization’s work production potential. Desktop personalization gives you the control to show certain users only the applications specified by you or your IT team, yet it allows the user to painlessly implement and store any necessary changes, all while saving space on your network by storing all information in a single file.

Profile Rewards

There are several advantages for System Administrators in creating user profiles for employees.

• no user’s profile is affected by another profile’s customization
• multiple users can work on the same computer each with their individual settings
• all settings are stored between the logoff and logon time
• user profiles can be saved on a central server which means they can be accessed from any computer connected to the network. These are known as “roaming profiles”.
• employee flexibility and consequent satisfaction

The Demands

However, along with the pros inevitably come the cons, which must be dealt with effectively. The more mature a profile becomes, the bulkier and more prone to problems it is.

For example, a user’s profile works flawlessly for months, then one day the user executes a computer logon only to see a Citrix default user profile. All of the time dedicated to his or her remote profile tuning has been lost in the great abyss. The remote applications they love dearly (courtesy of Citrix) are now impossible to find and all that’s left is the plain vanilla remote desktop. A corrupt user profile will bring the show to a grinding stop.

Below are vulnerabilities and work flow inconsistencies you may encounter:

• sluggish logon/logoff times
• large bandwidth resulting in slowed working time
• the corrupted profile
• time consuming manual scripting
• tedious registry edits
• eliminate and control unwieldy roaming profiles
• support calls
