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
