MessageHave you tried setting the variable to server\share (note the lack of
double wacks at the beginning) and then it as Connect X: \\%profloc%\%username%
?

This is what we are looking at now. We haven't been able to get this to work
quite right. I guess you are adding the %PROFLOC%\%USERNAME% variables to the
upper box (the Local Path) in the Terminal Servers Profile Path tab (since AD
won't let you put the environment variable in the lower field, Connect X: to
\\yada\yada). This means that the %HOMEPATH% variable should set to whatever is
in the Local Path, right? This doesn't work for us. How would users see the new
TS home dir?
Where are we going wrong?
Thanks
Russell

2003 makes this a non issue but does the same basic thing I am about to
show you (only at a GPO level)
Set a system ENV variable on each (requires a reboot)
Profloc=
PROFLOC is short for profile location. Lets assume that in each site you
have a home dir structure that can be accessed like so:\\Server\Share\%username%
Well with PROFLOC in London would = \\London server\ London share
While PROFLOC in NY would = \\NY server\ NY Share
Now in the user's Terminal Server home dir path setup this
%profloc%\%username%
Works like a champ. Now if you want to use a standard home dir you still
can you just HAVE to set this in TS properties for the user, just ensure that
in London the PROFLOC ='s the normal path. This will keep it from hitting the
user at the home dir and having to set PROFLOC on the desktops too.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Infrastructure Design
Hi
I have a scenario which I'd love comments on as someone on the list must
have similar infrastructure. Windows 2000 AD, all in one domain, mostly Citrix
XPe FR2.
Say we have two Citrix servers, one in London and one in New York. I work
in London and my terminal server home directory in AD is set to a share in
London. I want to access apps in both London and New York. But when I access an
app in New York my TS home directory points to London and the performance of
the app sucks, especially if the app uses the TS home dir for ini files, etc.
What is the experience of other admins out there? The example above is
compounded by servers and users being in other locations throughout the world,
Houston, Algeria, Kuala Lumpur, etc. and all users may need to access any or
all servers.
Thanks
Russell
