Hello,I would like to setup my Windows 2008 server so all users logging on (except Administrators) have a mandatory profile. For instance, User A logs onto Windows 2008, they are provided a temporary/mandatory profile copied from "Default User" and when they log off the temporary profile is deleted.From what I read is the best way to setup a mandatory profile is to go into the c:\users\default folder and rename the user.dat to user.man?I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you,D
