Map profiles/home folders to USB drives

by jon . Updated 19 years, 12 months ago

In an organization full of real estate agents who are independent contractors, believably, some of them do not have their own computers. Stunning if you ask me!

So, to solve that problem, we have resource rooms that have multiple computers in them. There is one guest account in Active Directory that they use to login to the system. The problem we have is that they are unable to independently save their files.

We don’t want to be a data store for their files, and we don’t want them to save their files to the guest user’s profile so each other agent can see the others information.

To circumvent this, I have to create a user account for each agent. This means creating a plethora of profiles on each resource machine and on the server. I can remove cached profiles, no problem, but what I’d really like to do is put the user profile on a jump drive or make the redirected folders go to a jump drive…or even just map a local drive as the home folder when they login…

Any thoughts on this?
