We use local profiles to avoid this problem. We have a default user profile. For Home Directories we give users more than one. If for example they access another location across the country we create one at that location. Just a different drive letter. Everything stays on the high speed LAN so no files are pulled across WAN. Printing and file copies consume the most bandwidth. -Mike Original Message: ----------------- From: Schneider, Chad M CMSchneider@xxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 14:08:39 -0500 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Your input.... Our farm began local. All DB servers are in the same server room as Citrix servers and the like. I kept the roaming profile sin that same area on their own server as well. Now, we have grown to having multiple zones, across the country, physically. Those zones were placed for their own apps., again all kept local to them. I also kept their roaming profile local to them. Now, those remote zones/locations are asking to access applications which are housed here. My concern is that users in Indiana, with roaming profiles housed there, are now accessing applications on server in WI. This causes excess traffic, as when they make a connection, their roaming profile must be copied across the WAN. How do others handle this type of situation? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor RTO Software Do you know which applications are abusing your CPU and memory?
