If you are not getting a new profile created locally, you should definitely be checking out all NTFS permissions on your local docs and settings profile folders. Default user in particular will be inherited by any new user profiles that are created and certainly in this case as you are changing the profile path settings (remember the TS profile and Home path are seperate).
Are you saying you want a TS home folder or profile path? Does your app have any settings relying on old environment paths that have changed since your migration. Have you performed any system upgrades outside of a controled migration?
Also the fact that only one server is working does suggest this, you may find that loading the old user.dat into regedt32 via a hive import will show up some app path issues occuring when you are using the old profile. You could try extracting and importing application keys into the new user.dat.
DNS is certainly an issue with AD migrations, but its probably more low level in this case.
Hope thats of help.

I'm not sure if this is an AD or migration issue anymore. The app that

Also, the profile seems to load correctly on one of the servers but not on
the other.
I'm all confused with this now, but I have ruled out the AD issue. So I
think I'm going to put it on our programmers to try and find out why the app
is breaking, after all her other apps work.
Thanks for the good information though, and I do wish that I could have used
the other migration tools, but ADMTv2 was the only one I could get my
grubbing little hands on.
Thanks.

NetIQ. They have a very solid migration tool as well, but personally I
think the Quest tool is slightly better, almost solely because it
handles SQL migrations much better than NetIQ.

One other point to be made, a lot of the third-party tools for migration
have this issue solved and automated.
Not that this would help you now, but you might review their websites
and review how they approach migrations to get an idea of what you might
run into in the future.
I am familiar with Quest /Aeltia's migration tools and Bindview's
Migration Service. Both are really good. One thing to keep in mind
though is the automation portions require RPC connectivity a lot of
times to work from a remote console.

just add them on.)

Charlie,
Two things:
1: Your Citrix servers should now use the same DNS servers as AD.
2: TS Profiles don't get translated using ADMT only User Profiles. The
file/directory part of the profile can be accessed after the migration
using SID History (assuming your doing this). However the Registry
portion of the profile(NTUser.dat) cannot use SID history. You can fake
this out by specifying the TS Profile as the User Profile before the
migration. ADMT with then translate the whole profile, at that point you
should return the User Profile back to it's original state.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Citrix and AD migrations
I'm conducting an NT 4 to 2003 AD migration and I'm having a bit of an
issue with my Citrix setup.
Background:
I have about 40 remote sites and a Citrix farm that is located with our
central IT staff. We are about 20% through the migration which does not
include any of the central servers (we do have servers at most of our
remote
sites) or the Citrix farm. We are using the ADMTv2 tool to migration
the users, groups, workstations and servers.
Problem:
Our Citrix profiles path don't seem to be working very well after we
conduct the migration. We were having an issue with a number of our
applications and we discovered that if we copied our "Terminal Services
Profile" Home Folder to our Profile Home Folder location most of the
apps then work correctly. However, I don't think that the profile stuff
is functioning correctly. I have deleted one users Citrix Profile and
what usually happens is when the user logs into Citrix it automatically
creates a new profile for them. This doesn't seem to be happening,
however they are still able to use Citrix.
If this user still has her old profile then she receives an error when
she tries to run the application.
Has anyone seen this type of issue when conducting the migration of
Citrix users?
Thanks,
Charlie
