Hi Peter,
Why are you re-profiling so often? Most modern displays are extremely stable, to the extent that re-reprofiling is likely to introduce more variation than you would notice by leaving the original profile in place and letting the monitors age naturally.
The only change due to age I typically observe is a slight reduction in brightness, which is unimportant unless you regularly compare two or more monitors at the same time, side-by-side.
BTW, LTNS. How you doing?
Don

In the past, our technical staff have made arrangements with end-users to come up and do the calibration while the end-user was logged in. We would like to change our process so technical staff can do these calibrations in the evening without the end-user logged in. However, getting the profile set correctly when the end-user logs in in the morning seems problematic. Staff doing the calibration have full admin access to the Macs but cannot log into the end-user account to set the profile.
