Very clever Rick, Joe and I were pondering that one- didn't consider
variablizing (is that a word?) to make the distinction- nice!

Hi Joe,
You can have multiple profiles co-existing by assigning an environment
variable as part of the profile name. We did this for a customer a while ago
who was upgrading their terminal services operating system. The profile
location was something like \\server\user_share\%username\%osv%\
<file:///\\server\user_share\%25username\%25osv%25\> . So the different o.s
paltform TS servers has different osv environment variables. Windows ignores
double \\ in a network share so that would give you a fair bit of scope.
For example if a standard desktop didn't have a profile env variable but VDI
desktops did, you'd have different profile locations for each platform.
regards,
Rick

Much like creating multiple profile locations for TS/Citrix Silos (using
GPOs to override the location set in AD) I would like to do the same for
Windows XP. Does anyone know how to override the Profile Location in AD for
a group of XP Workstations?
