I built a new Citrix PS4.0/Windows 2003 server over the weekend. I was
testing a performance tweak to put the user profiles on a seperate
physical disk vs. the same disk as the apps and OS.  I changed the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory from the default of
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings to Z:\Documents and Settings  (Z:
being the seperate physical disk with nothing else on it, but the
swapfile).  From the old profile root I copied Citrix_Sma, Default
User, All Users into the new profile root.  This worked (or so I
thought). When I tested a login the users roaming profile created in
the correct area.  When I rebooted the server however, the IMA service
refused to start with error code -2147483647.  I found this KB article
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX101949 which confirms this change
caused the issue, but I am wondering how I could make IMA work with
the new profile location.
