You are the domain administrator for your company. Roaming profiles are enabled for all users in the sales department. Roaming profiles are stored on a server named Server1, in a shared folder named Profiles. Roger is a user in the sales department. Susan is Roger’s manager. Susan reports that Roger modifies his desktop settings, which results in the need for help desk assistance and in lost productivity for Roger. You want to ensure that Roger cannot modify his roaming profile. What should you do?
A.
In Active Directory Users and Computers, on Roger’s profile tab, change the profile path to Server1Profiles%username%.dat.
B.
In Active Directory Users and Computers, on Roger’s profile tab, change the profile path to Server1Profiles%username%.man.
C.
In Roger’s profile on Server1, change the file name of Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.
D.
In Roger’s profile on his computer, change the file name of Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.
Explanation:
Ntuser.dat is the default profile which can be changed by the user. The Ntuser.man is the mandatory profile which cannot be changed by the user. We create the mandatory profile by changing the name of the default profile. Since we use roaming profiles we must change the profile that is located on the server.
Incorrect Answers
A: This is the path that is currently used.
B: There are no mandatory profiles created by default. We must create them ourselves.
D: We should not change the local profile. We must change the roaming profile located on the server.
