Good point, Ill look into that. Im just entertaining the idea of Subnet mask ordering at the moment, as I used it for their WSUS setup (27 WSUS servers) and it worked well. It saved the hassle of having to setup a ton of GPO's. But have never tried it with Roaming profile paths before.

And define the localprofiles variable on your remote ts systems to point to a local profile store. Then of course there's DFS as another alternative. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Tony Lyne Sent: Thu 25/05/2006 9:34 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Subnet mask ordering for roaming profile locations Hey guys, On a different subject, has anyone used Microsoft DNS Subnet mask ordering for determining roaming profile locations? I am working on an AD design which involves some 27 geographically dispersed locations which have file and print services on each site and Citrx servers on each site. It would be nice to simplify the GPO assinments so that we have just 1 GPO assigned on a base OU (using loopback) which defines the Roaming profile location to a host record in DNS. Rather than having 27 separate GPO's assigned to each of the OU's just to define a roaming profile path. Thanks, Tony This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
