Windows 10: Local user profiles filling up SSD

Hi,

I work in a school and we have some new shared laptops running Windows 10 Education x64 which have a vey small internal SSD.

When pupils log onto these laptops a local profile is created within c:\users\ for each user.

We use Folder Redirection so when pupils save work into a folder such as the Desktop, My Documents etc... the work is saved direct onto our fileserver.

However a problem we are having is that the local user profiles soon fill-up the SSD and the devices become unusable.

I have applied some Computer GPOs such as:
- Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache in case domain controller is not available = 0
- Delete cached copies of roaming profiles = Enabled
- Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on system restart = 7

However this does not seem to help.

I wondered if anyone could suggest what other GPOs could be applied in order for no local profiles to be created.

Thanks,

Matt Courtman

Hi Adeel,

For us to better understand the problem and provide you the best resolution, please clarify the following:

• What do you mean when you mentioned domain user profile?

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

I removed my reply because watching those instructions on TechNet I started wondering if they really work with Windows 10.

Anyway, whatever you try create first a dummy profile, customize it a bit and move it to domain. If everything works, you can then move real profiles.
