Not confused at all. Whenever you have multiple Citrix servers, it is
considered "best practices" to use roaming profiles. Even if the user
sits at the same workstation at all times and does not "roam" around to
other workstations. When a user accesses an application deployed via
Citrix, that application can be coming from server A or server B. Lets
say that on Monday, the application comes from server A and on Tuesday
it comes from server B. Though it was only 1 user from the same
workstation, there are 2 profiles - 1 on server A and 1 on server B.
Those profiles can be different. I.E Changing a default printer on
Monday and not seeing the change on Tuesday. Why, because his profile
was changed on server A and not on server B. Hence the need for roaming
profiles.

Currently we only have two servers XPS (so no load balancing). I think
you might be confusing the Citrix profiles with the client profiles. I
am talking about the fat Windows 2000 WS client profiles that is used
for accessing the Citrix servers. Roaming profiles really wouldn't be of
much use here as our users don't roam.
Thanks for your input:-)

How many Citrix servers do you have? You said that you delete their
profile on the Win2K PC they are working. Have you thought about
utilizing roaming profiles?

Subject: [THIN] autocrated printers stop creating on single client
I have now noticed at least 3 cases over the last 2 months of a user on
Windows 2000 running Citrix Program Neighborhood (version 6.x and 7.1)
find that their auto created printers stop being created.
The only way I can find to get them to start working again is to delete
there profile on the Windows 2000 PC they are working on. Once it is
recreated and I re-setup all there settings it works fine.
Does anyone have an idea what causes this? It is something in there
profile but what? If I know what it was I could fix that instead of
recreating the whole profile every time.
Thanks for any suggestions!!
