I'm a bit busy writing articles for the Virtualization Practice, but I may add it to my list of blog subjects

Still trying to understand the why, but this project is now officially completed :-) On 6 December 2013 14:45, James Rankin <kz2...@googlemail.com<mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com>> wrote: I think I may have cracked this, just to follow up. It looks like for whatever reason I need to redirect the Temporary Internet Files folder as well as the History folder, in this environment. You're not supposed to be able to point it to a non-local path (you certainly can't with GPO Redirection), but using AppSense EM or GPP you can force it. Don't quite understand the why, but once I've done this I can flip the test server a day forward in time and still see my History - that wasn't happening yesterday. Won't know for sure till tomorrow, but looks more promising than the last few weeks, for sure :-) Cheers, JR On 4 December 2013 13:52, James Rankin <kz2...@googlemail.com<mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com>> wrote: Forgot to add....I tried it with Folder Redirection for History disabled and Personalization Server capturing the IE History. Exactly the same behaviour was observed.

One of my clients has just done a Citrix deployment and what they are finding is every morning, their Internet Explorer History (IE8) has disappeared. The IE History folder is redirected to a network location using Folder Redirection and the data is written there fine. If I open and close multiple sessions, the History persists. If I restart the Citrix servers, the data persists. It is only when I come in the next morning that it has all gone. It's very strange. It seems that the History folder on the network has the data in it - it just doesn't seem to read it properly the next day. I've checked that the GPO that sets IE History persistence time is set correctly (7 days) and the Registry value corresponds to this. I've disabled AppSense, put the test server in a GPO with Block Inheritance enabled, all to no avail. I'm wondering now if AV could be to blame, maybe there is some privacy setting in Sophos that you can configure to clear a user's History at a specified interval? Maybe I am grasping at straws :-) If anyone has any other ideas I'd be glad to hear them. IE8 on XenApp 6.5 published app servers running (not surprisingly) Windows 2008 R2.
