[Tfug] Roaming profiles question

[Matthew T. Eskes]

Honestly, I like using Roaming Profiles even in my setup here at home to
sync my settings between my desktop and notebook and then just pass all my
files to the file server. And even though I know this is *nix forum, I feel
that AD something MS got right finally.....

My understanding from the active directory class I am taking is that 
roaming profiles are so that users can use multiple workstations and 
when they log on, all of their profiles, programs, and icons are present 
on that machine.  IE: It allows multiple users to use a machine and each 
time they log on, it is customized to their settings.

Not sure why you would need it if each person has their own personal 
machine.
