You support computers that run Windows 8 and are members of an Active Directory
domain. Recently, several domain user accounts have been configured with supermandatory
user profiles.
A user reports that she has lost all of her personal data after a computer restart.
You need to configure the user’s computer to prevent possible user data loss in the future.
What should you do?
A.
Configure the user’s documents library to include folders from network shares.
B.
Remove the .man extension from the user profile name.
C.
Add the .dat extension to the user profile name.
D.
Configure Folder Redirection by using the domain group policy.
“supermandatory user profiles.” means any changes made by user will not be saved.
and “super” means the server hosting the profile needs to be online, ie, no cached logon offline possible….
So, is D a correct answer?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A mandatory user profile is a special type of pre-configured roaming user profile that administrators can use to specify settings for users. With mandatory user profiles, a user can modify his or her desktop, but the changes are not saved when the user logs off. The next time the user logs on, the mandatory user profile created by the administrator is downloaded. There are two types of mandatory profiles: normal mandatory profiles and super-mandatory profiles.
User profiles become mandatory profiles when the administrator renames the NTuser.dat file (the registry hive) on the server to NTuser.man. The .man extension causes the user profile to be a read-only profile.
User profiles become super-mandatory when the folder name of the profile path ends in .man; for example, \serversharemandatoryprofile.man. Super-mandatory user profiles are similar to normal mandatory profiles, with the exception that users who have super-mandatory profiles cannot log on when the server that stores the mandatory profile is unavailable. Users with normal mandatory profiles can log on with the locally cached copy of the mandatory profile. Only system administrators can make changes to mandatory user profiles.
