Here's a thought from let field.
How about Mandatory profiles?

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Anyone out there using VMware View's linked clone non-persistent deskto=
ps? Everything works well with our Windows 7 pool but since the user doesn&=
#39;t have a local profile when they log in the wait for creating it is lon=
g (about 78 seconds). Anyone know of a way to speed things up?<br>
<br>
We tried ForensIT's Profile Manager 2.1 and it 'kinda' helped b=
ut not enough (knocked it down to about 60 seconds). What I would love to b=
e able to do is map the new user to a local profile we already have on the =
master image. When a user already has a profile the time for the desktop to=
load is 11 seconds.<br>
<br>
Another approach we could use in XP was use Microsoft's CopyProfile.exe=
to preload everyone's profile but I can't seem to find a tool like=
that for Windows 7 and that approach will make our images crazy-big.<br>
<br>
We also moved our domain group policies into local group policies and I tho=
ught for sure that would speed things up but it only knocked off about 3 se=
conds :-(<br>
<br>
I'd rather not store the user's profiles on a server, it'd be j=
ust another thing to manage.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
