We use roaming profiles stored on a network share. While we are on the subject of profiles, is anyone running citrix apps via Nfuse(1.6) in a mixed NT 4 and 2000 environment? The problem we have is that our apps are published via Nfuse between NT 4 and 2000 servers. If a user opens up a 2000 app first and then goes to open up Outlook which is on the NT 4.0 server their cache and other settings end up pointing to a nonexistend documents and settings/profilename folder because NT 4 stores that info in profiles. This causes them to lose the ability to open attachments in Outlook because there is no folder for them to cache it into. In other words when they log into a 2000 app their cache key in their profile gets set to documents and settings, then if they log into outlook even if they closed the 2000 app their cache folder under the shell folders key in the registry is set to point to documents and settings instead of the winnt/profiles directory. They can't open attachments until we open the profile in Regedt32 and delete the cache key again. If users open any app on the NT 4 servers first and then open the 2000 app they don't have the problem because the cache directory gets pointed to the proper place. This is probably something hybrid profiles might fix but it is a pretty aggravating problem.

Do you go with mandatory, roaming and just have the profiles reside locally on the Citrix server? I use roaming TS profiles stored on a network share. The profiles aren't mandatory. I maintain a template profile and have scripted profile builds, deletion of profiles from the servers, rebuild of "large" profiles, deletion of extinct profiles, etc... Largest profile issue I have is admins who have Citrix access and also administer boxes via RDP. For these folks, I'll rebuild their profile and have them log into the servers they admin, then set those profiles local. Otherwise the policies I've applied on the Citrix servers cause them to lose things like Start Menu etc. In my environment this is easier to manage than any of the alternatives I've looked at. - Bob Coffman ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - NetX Inc Thin Clients NetX develops embedded flexible client solutions, customized to your specifications.
