[Athen] Dragon Server

[Robert Spangler]

Hello, I am writing to see if there is anyone who is using Dragon in a
multi-user environment.  Currently, we have six testing machines on which
Dragon is installed.  Rather than have a user create a new dragon profile
on each machine, we have these set up to use generic Windows accounts, so
the student logs in using an account called test, and everyone uses the
same Dragon profile on every computer, which I create upon installing
Dragon.  However, our IT department is trying to push us away from using
generic accounts, which is certainly understandable.  I am hoping that we
can set up Dragon so that our students can create their Dragon profile on
one machine and have it pull from a server no matter which test workstation
they are using.

I have downloaded a Dragon Group Server install guide to pass along to our
IT department, so we can get this started, but I was wondering if there was
anyone on this list who is using this configuration.  How well does it
work?  Does the Dragon server actually store the user's voice data, or does
it just hold custom words and other settings shared among all users?  Do we
need to have roaming profiles enabled to even use this?  Basically, is what
I am attempting to accomplish possible?

Thanks!
Robert
