The registry does not seem to be involved. I would expect this to be a common problem encountered by lots of sites for which there is a straightforward answer - Office 97 can be installed with one global mandatory profile, or it can't. They complicate the situation. I have used mandatory profiles before and we have migrated to roaming ones. Word assumes that every user will modify normal. We had a big overhead in administration having to disconnect sessions for the users once word got "locked" with "unable to save normal.
And believe, me we have much less administration now. We have built a basic profile for all users and we daily backup the existent ones. The home directories sit in Novell servers. I know this just adds to your frustration but, mandatory profile applies to very few situations and full desktop publishing is not one of them.
I guess you wanted more objectivity: As far as I know, Office does not work properly with mandatory profiles. Set the users up with a normal roaming profile, make all the changes, then change the roaming profiles to mandatory ones. It will work, with a bit of patient tweaking. Mandatory profiles imply that the user has no customization.
No personal dictionary, user typer initials, no styles defined, no printer defined, no page size modifications and so on. No matter how you point your apps to an unique location, Winword works with user customization.
I presume you have the application directory in a read-only place, where, the user will not be able to modificate anything. I am really sincere in saying that I'd like to be proven wrong, but I don't think it will happen in O97 case.
We have 15 farms, with 89 servers integrated with NDS. Everything deployed accross 12 countries. None of our deployments use mandatory profiles in Thin Client desktop scenario. If your farm is relatively smal with a reasonable growth schedule, do a good capacity plan on a centralized resource server , authentication strategy, have a good backup scheme and create some scripts to create accounts automatically.
I must have missed something - surely the changes are stored in the normal. What changes are written to the profile? The normal. If mandatory profiles are not used, then global changes for all users are much more difficult to apply. Its not hard to set up the other stuff like default printers, custom dictionaries, etc. I agree with wilsona - don't keep ANY user files in a profile if you can help it. I agree also. Just after using mandatory profiles I can't see any advantage on it for Thin Client Desktops.
Best thing you can do is simply use published applications with policies and proper security. I did mandatory profiles for 4 years; a real pain. Is this page helpful?
