Originally I deleted the locally cached profile on one of the problem servers, 
and like I said, it didn't make a difference.  Then I thought about it and 
figured you probably meant to try deleting the roaming profile, not the local 
profile.  So I did that, and I also removed the pointer to it from my user 
account in AD.  We had it configured for every user under the Terminal Services 
Profile Tab.  
Then I logged on to one of the servers that should not redirect my desktop and 
it didn't.  So it worked.
 
I guess something in my roaming profile was holding the setting for folder 
redirection that got applied when I logged onto the servers that did apply the 
GPO even though I had turned roaming profiles off within that GPO.  
 
I don't know???  The good news is you all don't have to read my annoying posts 
about this anymore!  Thanks to all that helped, and extra points to anyone who 
can make sense of this for me!
 
Enjoy the weekend, I know I will...

Is the logon script applied by GPO or user account?  Were these profiles 
roaming at one point?  As in, the current local cache is still using the cache 
of the roaming?  If so, what happens if you delete the profile?

        this one is driving me nuts.

        Now that you mention it Joe, redirection policies are applied the first 
time and then not touched again unlesst hey change.  That may be why it's not 
being removed properly.  It's the login scrip that is confusing because the 
login scripts are typically part of the GPO itself when specified in a gpo.  
         
        But you make a valid point about the same profile, I would use GPO to 
specify a completely separate profile for the other OU.  then you eliminate 
this problem altogether.

                You're using the same TS Profile for the other servers, but not 
the same Redirection Policies?  Somehow, that doesn't make sense.  Does the 
other OU have its own set of policies?   As far as I know, GPO settings are not 
unapplied when a user logs off so some settings may be saved in their profile.

                Hello -

                 

                I have a GPO that contains user and computer settings for a 
group of users being applied to Citrix servers running 2003 that are in a 
certain OU within our Active Directory.  Within this policy are folder 
redirection settings for appdata, my docs, desktop, and start menu.  Their is 
also a logon script that is set to run in the policy as well. 

                 

                The problem is that when a user logs onto a different terminal 
server that is not in this OU, they get their folders redirected and the logon 
script is running as well.  I do not know why?  It shouldn't....? 

                 

                Also, if I am logged onto one of these other servers that 
shouldn't apply the policy, I am running RSOP.msc and it doesn't show any of 
the settings from my GPO being applied? 

                 

                I am baffled.

                 

                Any ideas why this might be happening?

                 

                ...hopefully it is just friday and I am overlooking something 
simple.

                 

                Thanks!
