Hello

I am currently setting up our Citrix server on a new server.
Running NT terminal server Citrix 1.8.

The old server the profiles are stored on the h:\ there is a profiles directory, with a list of all our users and a user directory with a list of all users.

The new server always stores the profiles in the C:\wtsrv\profiles.

Does anybody know how I can move/change this? I have set the user setting in NT are users profiles path \\citix\profiles\user1 and home directory to h:\users\user1. Which is the same as the old server.
All user are roaming.
 
iam not sure if I completely understand your question but are you aware that roaming profiles are copied to the server whenever a user logs in (unless a newer copy already exists) and then copied back to the remote file share after log off?

They are not removed from the server by default. NT has lots of issues with this. It is improved in Win2000 and almost a non-issue in Win2003. Meanwhile write yourself a little batch file to run at start up that will clean up the profiles directory....Look for Robocopy.exe online
 
Hello

All users are TS user, the old server all profile are stored in h:\profiles\

The new server goes to h:\profiles\ but also to the c:\wtsr\profile.
This causes problem if they log of incorrectly with open files etc.

Is there any way we can keep this just to the h:\profiles directory?
