But isn't Outlook really Outlook no matter where you run it from? As long
as their Outlook supporting files (PST, PAB, etc) are accessible on your
network, shouldn't they be able to use outlook from anywhere on your
LAN/WAN/Web Interface? That's how it works here, we redirect everything we
can back to a networked drive and then the users can access everything the
exact same way no matter if they are in the office or on the road.
The only thing you may run in to is they can have BOTH Outlook sessions open
at the same time and have them accessing the PAB or PST files. They can
still use most of Outlook fine, but I believe the client puts a lock on
those 2 files so that only one client at a time can access them. Other than
that you should be fine.

The problem I have with that is, I have this one office that uses Nfuse to
get their e-mail, they also travel to other locations where they can connect
to the network via Frame-relay. If I set them up to use outlook (I'm
assuming this is what you're talking about) on the Terminal Server, then
they can't use or will have difficulty using Outlook via Frame. Correct?

Whoops, typo there....I meant: when users pull files from their PC it eats
bandwidth and slows things down...
I default my users to their Terminal Server Profile path which is
\\servername\share\%username% <file:///\\servername\share\%25username%25>

So are you saying the Term Server profile path is NOT on a network server?

In my opinion it's better to default to the Term Server Profile
path...having users pull and push files to and from the servers eats up
bandwidth and to a user it appears that Citrix is slow. They should be
encouraged to use a network drive.

Nope. That's why in most Citrix environments (as well as most corp
environments with AD) the MY Docs directory is redirected via GPO to the
homedir.
You could in theory change the my docs path in the user shells folders in
the registry to point to the client drive and path. But My guess is it would
make some things really slow

I'm sure this has been covered before so I'll call it easy.
Using Nfuse, a user using outlook tried to attach a document to an email.
When he goes to "My Documents", he is on the servers "My Documents" and not
his local. I go in and dig down to his local "My documents" using the
defaulted mapped drive for the client local drives. There has got to be a
better way. Is there a way to default a users "My Documents" to be his local
and not on the server while using Nfuse?
Make sense?
