[THIN] Re: W2k3/Citrix 4.0 Shadow Key not applying

I would not depend/use shadow keys to distribute changes to a user's
profiles.   In the long run, you're better off scripting the changes.

Well i have reinstalled the application and the shadow keys are now applying
to new users but something else is now happening.

 

From what I have read it sounds like if I install the software on another
server the shadow keys on that server will have a later data/time stamp.
Users logging into that server will get their keys updated if the timestamp
on thiers is older, which it is.  This is not happening.

 

New profiles get the registry keys, users with existing keys not getting
changes.

 

Must be something I am missing.  Any comments welcome.

 

Thanks

We have run into something odd that I have not seen before. 
We are installing an application on our test server, Real Player. 
It creates a bunch of keys in the Shadow key location (hklm\sw\ms\windows
nt\currentversion\terminal server\install\software\RealNetworks).

But for some reason when I log in with a new user none of the keys get put
in the current user profile. 

It was working yesterday.  Today nothing gets copied in.  I delete the
profile of the user.  Log in and the current user key has nothing for
realplayer.

Any clue what could be causing this?
