This is a main contender for trial. We are looking at something similar at the 
moment, it's always reassuring to know that we are doing something similar to 
what other people do.
 
Thanks for your valuable 2 cents...

        Although you can set a home directory on AD you can delete the mapping 
upon logon I think.
        In this case you could have a script that would retrieve the machine 
name or IP address that is connecting (this you can get no problems) and map 
the home drive letter to the closest server otherwise performance will be 
indeed pretty bad for some applications/operations. This means you would need 
local home directories for all users on all locations.
         
        My 2 cents...

                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
