Sharing Profile Information

Administrators are supposed to do most of their work as an ordinary user and only log on as an administrator to perform administrative functions.  One way to allow users with an administrative alias to share profile information (e.g., My Documents or Start Menu) would be to populate the All Users profile with the information that you want to be global for all users.

See Knowledge Base article Q168475:  How to Create a Base Profile for All Users

For deploying applications, you might consider using the Software Installation and Maintenance feature of Intellimirror, discussed in Chapter 24.
