With users who login to multiple machines. It is not easily deduced which machine last wrote to the profile share. This will help aid in troubleshooting when a user complains that certain settings do not match.

  Hi Josh - This can be accomplished today in a few different ways.

  The Inventory Module can be used to write the XML file to \\fileserver\share\%username%\portability.  The name of the file will be the name of the computer that wrote the file and its contents might also be useful in other ways.  (The most recent file is the most recently-used machine; files will not auto-delete, only overwritten)

  Another method would be to use an Application Launcher or User Defined Script rule to do something like:
  echo %computername% > \\server\share\%username%\portability\%computername%.txt

  I will also submit this request to development as part of the Portability module.  Thanks for the feedback!
