Simplify Profiles allows administrators to migrate users from roaming profiles to mandatory profiles without compromising the users' personalized environments.

Why replace roaming profiles?

Roaming profiles are good idea in theory, but in practice they can cause more problems than they resolve. The Windows roaming profile will copy the user's entire Documents and Settings directory at Log On and the modified files are restored to the profile share at Log Off. This process is slow, and to complicate things, there is no way to control or limit the files and folders to be roamed. As a result, user profiles expand in size with every Log On. As profiles increase in size, the likelihood of corruption increases... With large files such as Outlook's Personal Folders (PSTs), roaming profiles are unstable, slow, and corruptible.

What are the benefits of using mandatory profiles with Simplify Profiles?

Simplify Profiles allows environments to replace all roaming profiles with mandatory profiles, which still allowing a user to save registry information between sessions. This allows for much faster Log On and Off times and easier administration, while still giving the user the same roaming experience of saving settings between sessions.
