Advise needed on using one profile for TS/Citrix and fat client sessions

[Guest murras68]

Hi,

 

Can anyone advise me on whether it is possible to use the same profile

for roaming users when they are using their normal (Fat client) and TS/

Citrix sessions using the group policy Loopback processing in Replace

mode and the UPHClean utility to resolve the corruption issues that

may have existed in the past.

 

We want to enable our users to save and retrieve their documents etc

from the same location on the network instead of having to create two

profile paths / home directories. I have

We also intend to use Outlook Web Access for out external users.

 

Thanks

Hello murras68,

 

It is possible, BUT you will become problems with some settings in the profile,

depending on the software and software configuration. I suggest to use two

profiles. We have the same and had some problems in the beginning, since

we use two profiles it is fine.

 

Best regards

I agree with Meinolf, using the same profile is most likely going

to cause problems.

 

You can still give users a central place to save their files by

redirecting their My Documents folder in both profiles to the same

home directory on a network share.

This is easiest done with a GPO:

 

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection

My Documents

Thanks.

 

What are you views on the using Appsense to manage roaming and TS/

Citrix profiles.

Hello murras68,

 

I have no experience with Appsense. But is seems to be an additional tool

with a lot more functionalities as only managing profiles.

 

Best regards
