We share one profile among NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and terminal
server (Yes, our users roam around on all of these). This particular issue
is handled via logic in our login script.

We use roaming profiles stored on a network share. While we are on the
subject of profiles, is anyone running citrix apps via Nfuse(1.6) in a mixed
NT 4 and 2000 environment? The problem we have is that our apps are
published via Nfuse between NT 4 and 2000 servers. If a user opens up a 2000
app first and then goes to open up Outlook which is on the NT 4.0 server
their cache and other settings end up pointing to a nonexistend documents
and settings/profilename folder because NT 4 stores that info in profiles.
This causes them to lose the ability to open attachments in Outlook because
there is no folder for them to cache it into.
In other words when they log into a 2000 app their cache key in their
profile gets set to documents and settings, then if they log into outlook
even if they closed the 2000 app their cache folder under the shell folders
key in the registry is set to point to documents and settings instead of
the winnt/profiles directory. They can't open attachments until we open the
profile in Regedt32 and delete the cache key again. If users open any app on
the NT 4 servers first and then open the 2000 app they don't have the
problem because the cache directory gets pointed to the proper place. This
is probably something hybrid profiles might fix but it is a pretty
aggravating problem.

>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.
