Roaming User Profile Greyed Out

[Guest]

I recently realized that when I right click My Computer
and within Advanced settings for user profiles theres
something like Roaming Profile. I'd like to know what is
this and why is it greyed out. It's currently set to
Local Profile.

Hi,
A server-based user profile that is downloaded to the local computer
when a user logs on and that is updated both locally and on the server
when the user logs off. A roaming user profile is available from the
server when logging on to a workstation or server computer. When logging
on, the user can use the local user profile if it is more current than
the copy on the server.
