Usually, in Windows Server-based networks, the following user profiles are used:
- Local user profile: It is created when the user logs on to a computer for the first time and is stored on a local computer (see Figure 4.25)
- Roaming user profile: It is a local profile copied and stored to a network share
- Mandatory user profile: It is a kind of roaming profile where a user logs off and no changes in a profile are saved
