Win 10 Ent. compared to Win 10 Ent. LTSB what would be the right decision?

[JJ Fullmer]

@psycholiquid So if I want to still have a starting point for new users I’ll still need to create custom default profiles. Thank you very much for your examples. I hadn’t found a clear definition of settings location template, it makes so much sense now, it’s a template for where to find the location of the settings to backup, duh. I think I just wanted it to be a template of starter settings.
I think I will most definitely be adding this to my infrastructure.

I am really glad that i started that discussion

[Psycholiquid]

@jj-fullmer Yeah M$ sucks at documenting this. I was able to get Windows Pinned items to work a little also, but I did all the testing on my own couldn’t find much on how to make templates so I just ripped apart others until I figured it out.

[x23piracy]

@psycholiquid hey if you say pinned do you talk about the startmenu?

[Psycholiquid]

@x23piracy Yeah this:

@x23piracy Yeah that wont work in UE-V though I am going for automated. I dont want ot ever have to mess with it again

[x23piracy]

[Psycholiquid]

It is the new roaming profiles for Windows. IT just came out of beta a little while ago

[x23piracy]

[Psycholiquid]
