Okay, so I deleted my local profile on one of the servers where the
desktop should not be redirected.  Then I logged on using rdp and the
same thing happened.  It used my redirected desktop and not my roaming
profile.  If I go into my local profile on this server
(%systemroot%\documents and settings\jluchette\) and then look in the
desktop folder I can see the files and folders from my roaming profile
there but they don't show up on my actual desktop at all???

the logon script is applied by the GPO, not the user account.

Yes, our old environment was setup with roaming profiles that are
configured within each user account to point to
\\servername\profiles$\%username%
<file:///\\servername\profiles$\%25username%25>  and because roaming
profiles are awful in general, I built the new environment using the
flex profile kit with roaming profiles turned off within the GPO.

I will try to delete the local profile, and let you know what happens.
I am assuming that it won't make a difference, but we'll see.

Thanks for staying with this!

Is the logon script applied by GPO or user account?  Were these profiles
roaming at one point?  As in, the current local cache is still using the
cache of the roaming?  If so, what happens if you delete the profile?

ica do these settings get applied??? 

 

this one is driving me nuts.

Now that you mention it Joe, redirection policies are applied the first
time and then not touched again unlesst hey change.  That may be why
it's not being removed properly.  It's the login scrip that is confusing
because the login scripts are typically part of the GPO itself when
specified in a gpo.  

 

But you make a valid point about the same profile, I would use GPO to
specify a completely separate profile for the other OU.  then you
eliminate this problem altogether.

You're using the same TS Profile for the other servers, but not the same
Redirection Policies?  Somehow, that doesn't make sense.  Does the other
OU have its own set of policies?   As far as I know, GPO settings are
not unapplied when a user logs off so some settings may be saved in
their profile.

Hello -

 

I have a GPO that contains user and computer settings for a group of
users being applied to Citrix servers running 2003 that are in a certain
OU within our Active Directory.  Within this policy are folder
redirection settings for appdata, my docs, desktop, and start menu.
Their is also a logon script that is set to run in the policy as well. 

 

The problem is that when a user logs onto a different terminal server
that is not in this OU, they get their folders redirected and the logon
script is running as well.  I do not know why?  It shouldn't....? 

 

Also, if I am logged onto one of these other servers that shouldn't
apply the policy, I am running RSOP.msc and it doesn't show any of the
settings from my GPO being applied? 

 

I am baffled.

 

Any ideas why this might be happening?

 

...hopefully it is just friday and I am overlooking something simple.

 

Thanks!
