Really, no problems with home directories across the WAN in NT4? That surprises me. OneWorld does a lot with reading/writing to ini files at startup and in normal operation. I would expect reporting and printing are much slower with the home directories on the WAN also. At least this part is most likely not an application issue, but an architecture issue. OneWorld can be a hog and is nearly unusable in a WAN environment. This is why most if not all WAN deployments are via Citrix - you can keep your client and server on the same fast subnet. Hope that helps, Christopher On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 14:54:23 -0400, Gano, David <davidgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > This issue is happening on a 2003TS/CitrixXPa Farm -- happens over RDP > or ICA...
