Hello,

We are in the process of testing and rolling-out roaming profiles
across our firm. While I have successfully configured and tested most
settings, I'm stuck with preventing the roaming profile roaming to our
Citrix server.

Our firm has 18 sites, 17 branch offices and one central site, all
connected by 8MB ADSL VPN Wan links. We plan to use folder redirection
and limit the profile size so that users can log on in any office.

What we don't want is for a user's roaming profile to be copied up to
our citrix server whenever they connect to it. Which can be several
time through the day.

All sites run Windows 2003 but our Citrix Server is Windows 2000, all
Clients are running windows XP

Any help or comments greatly welcomed and more info can be provided if
needed.

Thanks in advance,

JCace

You should use terminal server profiles in each user's ADUC properties -
specifying a different path than you use for your roaming profiles.

Hi Lanwench, thanks for the reply.

I have tried the following setting in the GPO

Computer Configuration | Windows Components | Terminal Services | Set
path for TS Roaming Profiles
and set the value to \\CitrixServerName\profiles$

But I'm not sure that this is making a difference is this the same as
specifying the value in Active Directory Users and Computers?

On our citrix server, I'm also getting errors in the event log relating
to folder redirection.
We have enabled folder redirection for the My Documents folder and
again, we only want this to apply when a user logs on to their local
Domain Controller, not when they log on to our citrix server.

When they log on to citrix, we want their My Documents folder to remain
local.

Events form our Citrix Server below:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Folder Redirection
Event Category: None
Event ID: 101
Date: 07/11/2006
Time: 10:20:59
User: domain\username
Computer: CitrixServerName
Description:
Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The new
directories for the redirected folder could not be created. The folder
is configured to be redirected to \\%HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%, the final
expanded path was \\%HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%. The following error
occurred:
The specified path is invalid.

Other Events that may be related?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 07/11/2006
Time: 10:20:59
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: CitrixServerName
Description:
The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection was passed
flags (0) and returned a failure status code of (161).

And:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 07/11/2006
Time: 10:20:59
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: CitrixServerName
Description:
Windows cannot process extension Folder Redirection ProcessGroupPolicy.
Return value (0xa1).


The rest of the Roaming Profiles seem to be working sweetly, so it is
irritating that this bit is not quite there.

Any help, comments or questions welcome.

Thanks in advance,

JCace.

Did you try my suggestion?
I'd think it would have to be \\server\share\%username%

I specify this in each user's ADUC Properties - I don't know how it works
via GPO.
Not sure!
Why not?
Youch. I wouldn't recommend that. I wouldn't store any data at all on a TS /
Citrix box. What's the point? Keep everything centralized - and it's much
nicer for the users to see their own data regardless of where they log in,
right?

How did you specify the folder redirection? It looks like that's missing
something. But a Group Policy newsgroup (and/or
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services) would be a better place to ask.
