And good luck with that! You can, however, manipulate some values in the users... HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID>\ ...to change the profile to be whatever you want during the logon process. Ie. You can run a logon script to do this. State = 276 (decimal) for an Administrative user and 20 (decimal) for a standard user Central Profile = the network location of the roaming profile ie. \\mydomain.com\dfsnamespace\profiles\%username% Cheers, Jeremy.

So I'm just working with what I've been given. So I need to use the profile path in the profile tab to get roaming profiles in view sessions on XP? jb ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 4:10 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: VMware VDI Nope, and they won't. The terminal services profile tab is just for terminal services. Windows 7 will have the ability to override the profile location tho. Interesting choice going from Citrix to Vmware. Curious as to what functionality that View offers that makes it more appealing that XenDesktop (or another vendor).
