This is mainly because of the fact that I work from home on a machine joined to my home domain with my other PC, a Surface Pro tablet connected to the same domain with the same roaming profile so my settings would sync in that manner but in a scenario where I could be using a work computer joined to a work domain means I wouldn’t have any sync activity between home and work. I wasn’t too bothered about the lack of Sync Settings previously. Despite all my attempts to correct it, the OneDrive immersive UI app just never worked properly and Sync Settings between multiple PCs is completely disabled with all of the options greyed out to prevent their use. Log in to a Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 machine using a domain account that is setup with a Roaming Profile and you will quickly see that even when you connect a Microsoft Account (MSA) that some things just don’t work properly. Roaming Profiles have defiantly taken a back seat in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Some of the stigma with Roaming Profiles is alleviated when you combine it with folder redirection, another technology which I am a fan of however it’s still not perfect. Lots of people have hated on Roaming Profiles for their misgivings which they do indeed have: slower logon times, issues with the synchronisation of the profile between multiple machines and the occasional profile corruption issues. I’ve been a long time fan of Roaming Profiles whether you use them as a means to deliver virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), a means to allow users to logon to multiple conventional desktops throughout a business or as a crude method to centrally backup user data so that if their laptop or other computing device fails, simply logon to a new machine and you get back the same experience. UE-V is designed as a 21st century replacement to Roaming Profiles. MDOP is available as a free entitlement to customers with Software Assurance on their Windows Enterprise Desktop licenses. In this post I’m going to show you Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.0 which is a really nice product from Microsoft for customers with access to Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP).
