Roaming profiles are the enemy

Our laptops use them and they 'can' be a PAIN. Our users tend to put massive files on the desktop, then wonder why it takes 30mins to login/log off

We are testing redirecting to the home drive instead.

Setting up a server as a domain with logins, a home drive and roaming profiles is relatively simple, ive done it in about 10 mins before on my test server, but if you don't have the experience then it isn't straight forward. You have to set security privileges/shares on folders and paths in Active Directory.

I don't know how WSUS works when a domain hasn't been setup, im not sure it would work properly TBH, my only experience is 2K3 and 08 on domains though, sorry.
