I work for a manufacturing company. We have multiple terminal servers running 2016 in our datacenter. We have users from our global manufacturing facilities that log into the terminal servers from a Raspberry Pi thin client via RDP to run applications. I would like to be able to configure mandatory profiles for these users when they log onto the terminal servers only. When they log onto other systems they should NOT get a mandatatory profile. Is this possible?

    Hello there, I guess this is not possible by design. You can make mandatory profile with specific users. When the server that stores the mandatory profile is unavailable, such as when the user is not connected to the corporate network, users with mandatory profiles can sign in with the locally cached copy of the mandatory profile, if one exists. Otherwise, the user will be signed in with a temporary profile. You can read more from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mandatory-user-profile Hope this resolves your Query !! --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--
