Profile-issue on password change

[Guest Severin Meierhans]

Hello,

We have a citrix-environment with about 150 Terminalservers running Windows

2k3 SP1. Users have roaming-profile.

 

Problem:

A user is starting a published application and gets the windows-message,

that he needs to change the password. The User change his password and the

application starts.

The Problem is that in this situation the server does not load the

roaming-profile. He creates a local-profile with the default-settings.

 

I have found this Hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833409

I've tried to install this hotfix, but it did not work because the fix is

already included in the sp1!

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

If your users have roaming profile paths defined in their ADUC properties,

note that these are meant for normal domain workstation logins. Not for

terminal server use. If the users also use TS, you need to specify Terminal

Services profile paths for them - and do not share/mix/match.

 

Roaming profile path might be \\server\profiles$\%username% - and the TS

profile path might then be \\server\tsprofiles$\%username%.

Perhaps the above will help. However, I'm no citrix guru (so corrections are

welcome), but shouldn't the user have been prompted to change his/her domain

password *before* getting to the point where they could launch the

application itself?

In the properties we only use the TS Profile path. We do not use the

roamingprofile path (It's blank). Sorry my fault of explanation...

Right now I've tested a RDP-Connection to one of this TS-Servers. The

problem was occured too.

I checked the userproperties "User must change PW on next login", connected

via RDP to the TS, entered my password. Then I was promted to change the pw.

After the change on the server was created a local profile again...

We use a "SingleSignOn"-Software in our environment.

This problem was solved with the installation of a newer Software-Release of

this SingleSignOn-Software.
