How would you propose to specify a user to have 2 different profiles in
Terminal Server though AFAIK you can't do it. NFuse is logging them onto the
domain which is a Windows 2000 server, our Office Apps are on NT 4 and the
profiles are set up as NT 4 profiles. When they log onto a Win2K app from
Nfuse before using an NT 4 office app that is where the problem starts. The
only way I see around it possibly is to publish the apps separately and give
the users a separate logon to the windows 2000 server and point that
different logon to another profile directory that is a W2K profile. Yes it
is the ntuser.pol file, once the profile is corrupt it will get tons of
ntuser.pol.tmp.tmp etc files adding and incrementing .tmp every time they
logon when it is corrupt.

would splitting your profiles not solve the problem? Do you not have errors
with the mixed environment and a single profile with the ntuser.pol file?

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.
