Roaming user profiles

Roaming user profiles & Omniscope

Incompatibilities with Windows roaming profiles

Omniscope does not fully support the use of roaming user profiles in Windows. If your network uses roaming user profiles, problems may occur, such as:

  • Settings are lost after logging out / restarting - for example, HTTP proxy settings.
  • License is lost after logging out / restarting, requiring you to activate again
  • On 64-bit, license cannot be activated again without contacting Visokio.
Note that roaming of activated Omniscope licenses is not permitted. An Omniscope license is per user+PC, and cannot roam to another PC.

Solution

Disable roaming user profiles for the accounts in question. Alternatively, contact Visokio for a list of files/folders that must be preserved on the local machine.
