Hi Gunnar,
If a user is getting someone else email, for example using outlook against an
exchange server, they not only have to have the same outlook profile
(connection info etc) but they have to pass the right credentials to view the
email. So it's not just as simple as a user getting a mixed profile, they's
have to have the same username and password as well which as you comment would
be a major problem.
I'd be real curious if this was happening, because its then not just an issue
of profile cross-contaimination but something much more interesting.
Get the 2 user's SIDs (only interested in the last set of numbers) and when
this problem happens, check the HKEY_USERS\%userSID% key on the server hosting
the user session. I can email you a little app that'll give you user SIDs.
The first thing to check is access permissions and ownership on the relevant
SID (HKEY_USERS\%userSID%). Does it correspond to the right user. Then check
the outlook profile (%userSID%\Software\Microsoft\WIndows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\%outlookprofilename%), .
If you look at the first few subkeys you'll see the user's exchange connection
parameters, which should match the user (but in this scenario may not).
What you do from there will depnd on what you find.
regards,
Rick

Blame aside, I just consider Citrix my Citrix servers, TS and all.
When this error first occurred I thought about profiles so I just deleted all
profiles on the network. (I can do this all I want on my network) Yet after
deleting the profiles it happened again. My problem is it doesn't happen all
the time, but I've seen it happen so I don't think it's a user error.

I use a product called Timberline and it is amazing to watch them always try
and point their finger at Citrix. After close monitoring it almost always comes
down to their application is the cause of the problem.

That is one the reasons I like the fact that MS bought Softricity - now the
focus of issues can be properly pointed to MS, Citrix has taken the heat since
the very beginning for what are really issues with MS profiles, printing,
compatibility, etc.....

First of all, to blame it on Citrix is an inaccurate statement. If anything it
is more likely to be Microsoft issue, but my guess is human error involved.
First I would look at each user's Profile Hive (loaded and unloaded) and see
what I could find and regress from there.

I have two different users that somehow get their lines crossed on Citrix. I
kid you not when the HR director logs into Citrix she gets someone else's
logon. When that other person logs on she gets the HR director, email,
everything. The server shows them logged in properly, meaning the HR Director
is logged in as herself not the other person. Neither of these people have
ever used the other persons computer so the possibility of Citrix remembering
the HR director password on the other persons machine is not really probable,
she's never used it.
This problem reminds me of when the phone company would get lines crossed, has
anyone ever heard of this happening. This is just about the biggest security
problem that Citrix could have given me.
