Create a Domain Base Profile for All Users

Zero touch installs have always fascinated me, but spending big bucks to do it isn’t always an option. I’m not out to provide away of doing this, but I am developing some ideas. Some of my posts may contain information that will not be used, but I’ve found it relevant. Providing a base profile for users can be accomplished numerous ways. This is just one of them…

Create a profile and configure it how you want it setup. Then under the Advanced tab in the System applet select User Profiles. Select the user profile you just setup and select Copy to (set the appropriate permissions) the netlogon share. Then rename the folder to Default User.

If you want to setup Mandatory profiles, copy the profile in the same way to a folder called Mandatory. Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man. In AD Users and Computers select the users properties and set the Profile Path to the “Mandatory” folder.
