Hi. We use roaming profiles across the company, I was wondering if anyone knew whether it was possible to put computers in there own OU and apply a GP which would stop roaming profiles being used so a user that logs on would just get a new local profile created using the default profile?
Yes, it's possible. Inside of the group policy , go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles and enable "Only allow local user profiles." The only thing is, if users had logged onto that machine before, their profiles will still be stored locally and they'll be using those. You'd have to go around to each machine and delete their locally cached profiles most likely.
