Or, if you have PS 4.0 Enterprise, you can associate the app with an
Application Isolation Environment causing the temp
files to be per user, even if the path is the same for everybody.
The only problem with using file servers for temporary files is bandwidth and
load on the file server. If the files are
small and you have a reliable network then this should be fine. Another option
is to use Kixtart login script to modify
the .ini in the user's home directory to specify the user's local temp folder.

You could setup the Application Compatibility drive (Which links back to the
user's locally cached profile). In the
.ini file you can select the path as X:\Local Settings\Temp\ (Local settings is
generally excluded from the roaming
profile). If for some reason you can't do that, then I would point it to a
directory in the user's home drive and not
the profile.

Subject: [THIN] Using roaming profile point for temp files
Someone tell me if this is a "no no".
One of my applications requires a unique temp path for every user who uses it.
The INI file that resides in the
\windows directory for the profile cannot take variables like %username% so I
have to statically asign the temp path for
each user. To not have to create and maintain a file structure for all the
users on Citrix, my thought is to point the
INI to the root of the users roaming profile point out on the network (ex:
p:\servers\profiles\jdoe\).
The program is extremely good about cleaning up after itself. I can't say I've
ever seen it leave temp files in the
specified tempory directory. Am I going to run into some kind of profile
load/unload problem if I do it this way?
Or, do I just keep it safe and point it to the temp path under their profile on
the local server (c:\documents and
settings\jdoe\local settings\temp)
