Ahh don't forget what he was looking for. A way to get documents to
attach (easily) from the workstations My documents to outlook running on
a Citrix server. Best way for that is to redirect My Docs so that it is
the same everywhere.

Easy:
1) Don't use personal folders. Personal folders suck and should be
destroyed.
2) Don't use PAB's. PAB's suck, and should be destroyed.
3) Use only the mailbox (and an OST if you must, for your travelling
devices) and the contacts as your user-created contact list.
then, it won't matter where they connect from, since all the info is
stored on there mailbox which is on the server.

Ok, maybe I need to clarify myself.
A user uses Nfuse at one office via DSL, goes to another office
and connects to my network (domain, LAN) (not the internet) via frame.
If I have him using outlook on the terminal server and not his local
laptop, how will he be able to use outlook? Am I just having a brain
fart here and can't see the forest for the trees? Seems I not
understanding something or not properly explaining it.

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?
