"HIbernate" a server user?

[GreenMint]

Hi guys, we have a central Windows server here that shift staff log into on their shifts, a few use a lot of older, larger software and it takes about 20 mins for them to get on then get setup & running, is there anyway to essentially "hibernate" that user rather then logging them off fully when they are finished so they can then restore from a state saved on the server rather than going through their usual morning startups/evening shutdowns as they're losing about 30 mins a day waiting on software!

Are they using roaming profiles?
How fast are the systems in question?

Have you done any diagnostics to why it’s slow logging on? If it’s just because of certain software then try see if paths of said software or problem areas can be changed.

Sadly i'm not in a tech role here, just another user, its literally old, engineering based badly programmed software that takes an age on any system, hence ust wanting to put a remote user to hibernate/sleep rather than logging him off every night and going through the whole rigmorol again!
