Actually, dragging the profile across the WAN might not be such a big deal
if you don't delete the cached copy on the central region TS server. It will
"merge" the profile, avoiding dragging everything.

If you were setting this up from scratch, I'd recommend setting the AD entry
for each user's TS profile to %ZONENAME%\%USERNAME%. Then you could set an
environment variable ZONENAME on each TS server to an appropriate file
server.

HTH,

  We have several sites throughout the state and even some in other
states..We have 5 zones (1 at each central site)...The users login to TS
Servers in their perspective zone..Now lets assume however that they need to
have an application siloed in our central region.Their TS Profile loads from
their home site.Also their appdata and mydocs are re-directed to their site
as well.The majority of the time we want this behavior as they are local LAN
unless they need one of these special apps at the home site in which case we
would rather load nothing as the apps we have in mind do not need home
directories or profiles...

  Why would the user's profile information drag across the lan?  Is the
profile server not on the same local network as the citrix servers?  Even if
they are not, why not use GPO policies to split out the profile for those
citrix servers.  Users that log into that silo would get a shared mandatory
mandatory (or a flex).

  Okay here is a question for the group..I have a few test servers setup
with Web Interface 3 and Presentation Server 3...My question is this...If I
publish applications anonymously and login to Web Interface as a user I see
anonymous apps and my published apps I am granted via AD groups...I then
launch the app and launch it as one of the anonymous connections...What I
would like to do is somehow maintain AD group authentication to enumerate
the app list but when it launches it should launch anonymously...This would
save me from having these apps listed under everyone's Web Interface screen
as everyone does not run this app...I know it really isn't anonymous at this
point but what I am really trying to save is dragging the users profile,
appdata, etc across the WAN...Any help is appreciated...
