2003 makes this a non issue but does the same basic thing I am about to
show you (only at a GPO level)
Set a system ENV variable on each (requires a reboot)
Profloc=
PROFLOC is short for profile location. Lets assume that in each site you
have a home dir structure that can be accessed like
so:\\Server\Share\%username%
Well with PROFLOC in London would = \\London <file:///\\London>
server\ London share
While PROFLOC in NY would = \\NY <file:///\\NY> server\ NY Share
Now in the user's Terminal Server home dir path setup this
%profloc%\%username%
Works like a champ. Now if you want to use a standard home dir you
still can you just HAVE to set this in TS properties for the user, just
ensure that in London the PROFLOC ='s the normal path. This will keep it
from hitting the user at the home dir and having to set PROFLOC on the
desktops too.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Infrastructure Design
Hi
I have a scenario which I'd love comments on as someone on the list must
have similar infrastructure. Windows 2000 AD, all in one domain, mostly
Citrix XPe FR2.
Say we have two Citrix servers, one in London and one in New York. I
work in London and my terminal server home directory in AD is set to a
share in London. I want to access apps in both London and New York. But
when I access an app in New York my TS home directory points to London
and the performance of the app sucks, especially if the app uses the TS
home dir for ini files, etc.
What is the experience of other admins out there? The example above is
compounded by servers and users being in other locations throughout the
world, Houston, Algeria, Kuala Lumpur, etc. and all users may need to
access any or all servers.
Thanks
Russell
