Preparing for the Roaming feature
1. Create network storage location for Master Roaming User Profiles. For example, you can create
a shared drive that all Dragon end-users will have read/write access to. In this example, we'll
name this shared folder Dragon.
2. In the shared Dragon folder, you can create 2 sub-folders; Dragon Profiles and Data Directory.
l Dragon Profiles is the location for the master copies of the User Profiles. (For
planning purposes allow for 1100 MB per User Profile.)
l Data Directory is the location for custom commands and word lists that automatically
update the User Profiles by use of the Data Distribution Tool.
For more information, see Setting up the Roaming feature.
