Explanation:
To minimize the amount of time that roaming users take to log on and log off of the computers, you need to modify the Group Policy object (GPO) to include folder redirection.
The roaming profiles and folder redirections can make your life easier. With roaming profiles though, each user’s files and settings follow them from PC to PC, so there is no need to move anything.
Now that you know what a profile looks like, let’s talk about making the profile mobile. The basic technique behind creating a roaming profile involves creating a shared folder on the server, creating the user a folder within the share, and then defining the user’s profile location through the group policy, which is called folder redirection.
