[THIN] Re: Need help in overriding machine GPO

Hi
Thought as much.. No, I simply need to specify different directories on the same server. A new requirement has popped up and the current setup doesn't really cater for it as the GPO are hardcoded to specific directories..
I may look into tools that will allow me to populate the AD user objects with TS Profile + Home Drive settings. Once this is set, I'll remove the GPO settings and all will be good. My only issue is I have 500 user objects that need updating...

Off the top of my head - I thought you could make the policy use a variable, 
and then set the variable as part of the user's settings. Then I remembered
we've moved on since NT4 :( Here's a decent article on the subject -
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX110351#P164_15497
From what you describe even if you were to hard code the value for the user, 
it would be overridden by the OU. So unless you introduce some different
method its siloing for you I think.
Do you need to migrate for some users for a reason? Are you running short on 
disk? Wanting to split the profile load across different servers?

Subject: [THIN] Need help in overriding machine GPO

Hi

We use AD group policies extensively and its been used to set User Home
Drives + User Terminal Server profile paths via the PS4 machine GPO.  This
works beautfully for existing 500 users who use Citrix but I now have a new
requirement where users require Home Drives and Terminal Server Profile
paths to be in a different area (different server).  If these settings were
set in the AD object in the first place it wouldn't be an issue. Apart from creating a new OU and building new servers in a new OU (SILOing the servers 
and using different Group Polciies), can anyone think of a way I can
override a Computer GPO if Im logging on to an existing farm?

I could hardcode user profile + TS profiles in the AD objects for existing
users but Id have 500 users to do and I don't rate myself as a scripter to
do this automatically..

Any assistance muchly appreciated

Thanks
