We are new to citrix (XPFR2 on W2k, CSG/Nfuse/seamless apps). Of course the
app suite we published for this had a few local machine reg settings. To
get around this I redirected the settings to their profile. I then needed a
way to create unique profiles for these servers, different from the users
regular roaming ts profile.
Here's a little trick to allow for multiple roaming profiles per server or
server grouping.
Set a system environment variable called "profile" with a value of "group1"
on one of you TS/MF boxes. In the users TS profile path put
\\profileserver\profileshare\%profile%\%usersname%. When a user, say JoeB,
logs onto that server, a profile will be created in
\\profileserver\profileshare\group1\JoeB.
Now, add the same variable value on as many other servers you want them to
use that profile. Add other variable values to create other server groups.
If JoeB logs onto a server that doesn't have that profile variable set, a
folder will be created \\profileserver\profileshare\%profile%\JoeB. You can
use that information to help find out who is running a TS under their desk!
;-)
Works like a charm.

>Just curious as to how most of you running several Citrix boxes utilize
profiles. Do you go with mandatory, roaming and just have the profiles
reside locally on the Citrix server?
I use roaming TS profiles stored on a network share. The profiles aren't
mandatory.
I maintain a template profile and have scripted profile builds, deletion of
profiles from the servers, rebuild of "large" profiles, deletion of extinct
profiles, etc...
Largest profile issue I have is admins who have Citrix access and also
administer boxes via RDP. For these folks, I'll rebuild their profile and
have them log into the servers they admin, then set those profiles local.
Otherwise the policies I've applied on the Citrix servers cause them to lose
things like Start Menu etc. In my environment this is easier to manage than
any of the alternatives I've looked at.
