Very clever Rick, Joe and I were pondering that one-  didn't consider
variablizing (is that a word?) to make the distinction- nice!

Hi Joe,

 

You can have multiple profiles co-existing by assigning an environment
variable as part of the profile name. We did this for a customer a while
ago who was upgrading their terminal services operating system. The
profile location was something like \\server\user_share\%username\%osv%\
<file:///\\server\user_share\%25username\%25osv%25\> . So the different
o.s paltform TS servers has different osv environment variables. Windows
ignores double \\ in a network share so that would give you a fair bit
of scope.

 

For example if a standard desktop didn't have a profile env variable but
VDI desktops did, you'd have different profile locations for each
platform.

 

regards,

 

Rick

Much like creating multiple profile locations for TS/Citrix Silos (using
GPOs to override the location set in AD) I would like to do the same for
Windows XP.  Does anyone know how to override the Profile Location in AD
for a group of XP Workstations?
