I have a question regarding the start of a Citrix farm of App servers
that publish the app only -
Users login to a plain 2003 TS (no citrix) to get to their session
desktop and use the published apps from there that reside on the citrix.
We have a GPO on the TS machine that locks down and controls whomever
logs into it but as we now have 2 citrix app servers - should we be
using the same GPO (i.e. put the 2 citrix boxes in the same server OU as
the TS) on this being it only publishes programs?
Second - how beneficial is routing home directories in this setup (50
users on a LAN)? I always redirect the MyDoc folders & TS profiles via
GPO to a network share but never the home directory. Is this really
needed now that we have the login TS & 2 citrix app servers? If this is
better to have a single place for application settings in the users home
directory (as opposed to having the roaming profile send it around from
server to server), it wants to map a drive letter to it.....can I just
hide this letter in my GPO or does the system need the physical letter
as the user log's in?
Thanks for the help. This is week 3 in our first deployment of the
citrix farm whereas we normally work with TS2003 servers. Already
running fine on the first server and just added the second server to the
farm for LB.
