# Server-stored Profiles

**Server-stored Profiles** (servergespeichertes Profil) are used in the [[windows-vollservice]] environment to maintain a consistent user experience across different hardware.

Unlike local profiles, these profiles save Windows settings and various application configurations to a central server. 

### Workflow
1. **Login**: Upon authentication, the user's profile is automatically downloaded from the server to the local machine.
2. **Session**: The user works with their personalized settings.
3. **Logout**: Upon signing out, the updated settings are saved back to the server.
