summary: Profile management that does not load the whole profile. It captures the settings somebody chose, and that shortens the login.

## What it is

Dynamic Environment Manager, formerly User Environment Manager, handles user settings for
the operating system and for applications. Unlike classic profile management it does not
capture the whole profile, only the settings an administrator has nominated.

## Why that is the point

Less data means shorter logins and logouts. Settings are also applied when an application
starts rather than all at sign-in, which makes the login asynchronous: nobody waits for
things they are not using yet.

User data itself goes through folder redirection.

## What it is for

Estates where the same person works across several devices: fat client, laptop, virtual
desktop, RDSH. The settings sit centrally and the experience stays the same across them.

## What to watch

Somebody has to decide what gets captured. That is the work in this product: not the
install, but the list of settings worth following a user around.
