Chapter 6: Configuring and using the Roaming feature and Roaming User Profiles
Administrative Settings: Roaming
User Network Location
You use the Roaming User Network Location dialog box to define the network location of the
master Roaming User Profiles.
The location you pick must be accessible to all computers where end-users will dictate using a
Roaming User Profile.
Display Name
Sets the directory name displayed in the following locations:
n The Roaming tab of the Administrative Settings dialog box
n The Location of user profile drop-down list in the Open User Profile dialog box.
Note: With the Roaming feature enabled, the Open User Profile dialog box displays only User
Profiles in the Roaming User Profile locations. To let the end-users open both local (nonroaming)
and Roaming User Profiles, select the Allow non-roaming user profiles to be
opened option on the Administrative Settings dialog box. Clearing this option prevents endusers
from dictating with a non-roaming (local) User Profile by accident. For more information,
see Enabling the Roaming feature on each computer where an end-user will dictate.
n The Location of user profile drop-down list in the Manage User Profiles dialog box.
Network Location—Address
On each computer where you plan to have users dictating as a Roaming User Profiles, you must
tell that installation of Dragon where the Master Roaming User Profiles are located.
The Roaming feature supports the following types of locations:
Mapped Drives and UNC Paths
Mapped drives connect to a shared network folder that has a drive letter assigned to it.
UNC paths connect to a shared network folder using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) to
locate a User Profile. The UNC is a way to identify a shared file on a computer or network without
having to know the storage device it is on. The UNC path format is:
\\servername\sharename\path\filename.
To use a mapped drive or UNC path:
1. Under Network Location, enter the address of the mapped drive or UNC path.
You can click Browse to browse for the location of the mapped drive or UNC path. This displays
the Browse for Folder dialog box. You can also create a new directory on the mapped
drive or UNC path by clicking the Make New Folder button.
2. Click OK when you are done.
