I want to create roaming profiles to all my users using group policies. Is
there any guideline to do that?

thanks
 
sorry for the delay getting back with you

Are you asking how to create a roaming profile? If so, the easiest way is
in Active Directory, go to the user and click properties, and under profile
put a profile path for the profile. We have a shared folder on the server
called profiles so the path is \\bbh01\profiles and for each user we create
a subfolder for them. So in my case, the profile path in active directory
is \\bbh01\profiles\rcohen . So once you set the profile path in active
directory, just go to network neighbood to
\\bbh01\profiles and add the folder with the name rcohen and set that user
with full permissions in the security properties for that folder.

You can also create a script to set everyone's profile path in an OU. For
example, if I need to set everyone's profile path in my ou to a new location
I would do a vbs like so. This sets the profile path to each user in OU to
their username. You would still need to go to that path and create those
folders and set the permissions. That can also be scripted but that is more
complex.

Set ObjOU= GetObject("LDAP://ou=staff,DC=baltimorebehavioralhealth,DC=org")
For Each ObjUser In ObjOU
ObjUser.Put "profilePath", "\\bbh01profiles\" & objUser.sAMAccountName
objUser.SetInfo
