You can administer PCs with multiple iSeries™ Access for Windows® users. This type of administration is available as a function of the Windows operating systems through the use of roaming and mandatory profiles.
The roaming user profiles are Windows user profiles that can roam between PCs. The configuration changes go with the user. The roaming user profiles generally reside on a Windows server. Each roaming user has a directory on the Windows server specified by the user profile path in the user profile settings. This directory contains registry information as well as start menu and desktop information for each user.
Mandatory user profiles are user profiles that a system administrator sets up for use by PC users on any Windows PC. These users typically should not modify their settings. Mandatory user profiles can exist on one PC or roam between PCs.
