Or that by having data held individual workstations they're increasing their
carbon footprint and running up expensive electricity costs by running
multiple devices
Will no one think of the children?

You could try telling your management, ever so politely, that they're idiots
to keep any sort of significant data on the workstation.
Good luck with that J

Greg -
you got it.
i do have home folder and user profile implemented for a subset of users,
but can't implement this for these users.
so i'm SOL ?

login to at the office.
User A uses PC A in the office.
goes home, fires up his home PC and connects to the Citrix server for
access. That user wants to access a share on PC A.
This is where a home drive and redirected "My Documents" Location is nice.
Once it is mapped, it should stick in the user's profile. I think some
simple training and a cheat sheet might work.

You don't have to configure a script to give access to local client drives
through Citrix. Just enable client drive mapping in the ICA
properties. If you want them to access shared drives in Citrix session add
drives in logon script.

How about moving the user's data to a centralized fileserver? In the long
run, that is the best place for it to be. Or if your environment is small
enough, perhaps GoToMyPC is a better choice than Citrix.

I need to come up with a script or a combination of methods so i users who
are connecting through the citrix server are mapped to their local
workstations' C drive.
in other words, when userA logs into excel via citrix and they click file
open, they can drop down and see a drive mapping to their shared C drive at
the office.
in the past, since we were a small shop, their computername would mimic
their username; so the script would look like "net use /persistent:no W:
\\%username%\c"
now we've changed the computername convention and i'm not sure how to
accomplish the same mapping.
