nice. That would have been handy back when I changed to roaming.
Luckily, we don't have thousands of users.

Greg,
Re: your "biggest pain"
Try out Dameware from www.dameware.com
You can use the Dameware NT Utility and change the TS Profile path for =
=3D
every user in your company in under 5 minutes.
If you or anyone out there hasn't seen\used this tool before, it's =3D
great. The demo is a full blown version and the cost per license is =3D
approx $100 each depending on your quantity ordered.

we use group policy to direct my docs and stuff and it works great. I =
=3D
=3D3D
tweaked the registry to redirect Temp internet files.
What I recommend doing is create a test user and log in to create a =
=3D3D
local profile. Then use the profiles tab in system properties to copy =
=3D
=3D3D
it to your roaming profile directory. When doing that, you have the =
=3D3D
option to change the permissions to give everyone access.
Set that user to use that profile and log in as that user and make all =
=3D
=3D3D
your changes, registry tweaks, application settings etc, etc. Then log =
=3D
=3D3D
out and use that dat file for all your other users to start with.
We run mandatory profiles by group so whenever I need to make a settings =
=3D
=3D3D
change, I log in as my test user, make the change, then redistribute the =
=3D
=3D3D
dat file.
changing the profile path for all of your users is the biggest pain.

Hi all,
I am finally moving from a 1 server Citrix farm running XPs, to a 2 =3D
=3D3D3D
server farm running XPa. At the moment the profiles are stored locally =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
on the citrix server so I am now investigating roaming profiles as I =3D
=3D3D3D
have never used them before and clearly have to go down this route.
I have got it working for a number of test users, but I would welcome =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
some feedback, got ya's and best practices from you guys about using =3D
=3D3D3D
them in the Citrix environment.
I have concerns about the profiles getting too big, and have already =3D
=3D3D3D
looked at redirecting My Documents and the Desktop Folder from their =3D
=3D3D3D
profile. I would also would like some feedback on what you have done =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
with temporary internet files.
Thanks,
Steve
