(This translates to a '.v2” profile for Win 7 & 8.) This is OK except that when I log on to a Windows 8 machine, the start screen has 3 tiles on it: the IE live app tile, the Desktop tile, and the Store tile, and that is it. Here’s the problem: Our network engineers have configured most of the domain accounts that students log on to with a mandatory profile path of %systemdrive%\manprofile in Active Directory. What that means in this context is that students logging in will, come August, have the potential to log in to Windows 7 in some labs, and then come to my computer science labs and log in to Windows 8. has recently upgraded all of their labs from Windows XP to Windows 7. administration is divided between me, who handles the computer science department, and a larger IT group that services the rest of the campus. So far, application testing has been going well, but I am having an issue with the start screen with local mandatory profiles.Ī little background: Our I.T.
I work at a community college where I have just been told that we are going to be migrating to Windows 8 Enterprise in some of our computer labs in the Computer Science department, effective August 2013.
I greatly appreciate it and if you need any clarification whatsoever, please don't hesitate to ask. First, thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.
