Roaming user profiles for the Enterprise
We are migrating from Windows 7 and we heavily utilize roaming user profiles with some folder redirection. We see there are new features for user roaming with Enterprise Roaming State. Where can we find additional information on this and what it takes for configuration? What are the best practices for implementing roaming user profiles in Windows 10?
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-windows-enterprise-state-roaming-overview for more information on Enterprise State Roaming.
Generally we recommend moving away from roaming user profiles - they work fine with well-connected machines (nearby server) but not for the modern "roaming user" who uses multiple machines from multiple locations. There are a variety of options to consider, e.g. folder redirection, UE-V, Enterprise State Roaming, OneDrive, etc.
