Profile Basics

When administering large computer networks, especially those using central resources like with server-based computing (SBC) or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, network administrators often run into issues with profile corruptions.  When a user profile gets corrupted, it can cause headaches for the user and for the IT staff that must troubleshoot the problem and ensure the user gets his or her settings, files and typical desktop work environment back in order.

There are a number of third-party tools out there that are designed for network administrators to use as add-ons to their current environment.  These profile management solutions are both effective and efficient, and often pay for themselves very quickly by reducing the load on your IT staff, and reducing end-user downtime.  By implementing a quality third-party solution, you can reduce the headaches associated with profile corruption and user-profile management.
