Michael:
Just a basic question (sometimes the answer -that's why I offer): Are
you separating the Terminal Server User Profiles from their User
Profiles (if you are using Roaming User Profiles) in AD; and naturally,
have you checked their read/write permissions to where you are storing
their profiles? Finally are they mandatory profiles or are they allowed
to make changes?

Subject: RE: [THIN] Default Printers
I've had problems with users and default printers for quite some time
now. My environment is essentially the same. I have a series of
policies defined that will assign printers based on the user, and all of
them are set to not touch the default printer. My users don't have
access to a desktop at all, so If the user sets a default printer within
an individual app's print dialog, or through a published printer control
panel sometimes the setting will be retained and sometimes it won't.
Generally I thought it was an issue with roaming profiles, and so I've
ensured that they don't have any other applications open at the same
time, etc. I can't find the magic variable.
I've even done some research into the applicable registry keys so I
could just reset the user's default within their login scripts.
However, IIRC there are at least three different registry values that
control the default printer, and they tie to port numbers that are not
consistent between TS boxes... so that I think is going to be a lost
cause too.
Before "policies" were implemented in Citrix it atleast seemed that once
a user selected their default it would stay selected.
Please let me know if you find any additional information.

Subject: [THIN] Default Printers
Has anyone seen an issue with PS4.5 and the user setting there default
printer? Using policies we give our users 5 or 6 printers from a
network print server. They then set there default and move on. But
when they logout there default printer is not set properly. We are
using roaming profiles etc. but the default printer info will not save.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael
