We had a fairly decent environment in place using hybrid profiles in our Metaframe XPe FR3 environment, but it was technically unsupported because Citrix Consulting Services didn't design it for us. During our migration to CPS 4.5, we implemented roaming profiles and it has been a challenge since. I have briefly looked at the AppSense software for managing profiles, but my first goal is to identify a suitable method of providing high-availability and fault tolerance since we'll be looking at moving away from DFS and DFS-R.
In the meantime, I'm researching the feasibility of implementing multiple profiles using the "profile path override" feature with Windows 2003. With our AD structure, it would be fairly easy for us to implement GPOs per application silo to facilitate this feature. I definitely appreciate the feedback though. I'd still love to hear how others are providing high-availability and fault tolerance with their implementations. I'd also appreciate any feedback from those using multiple profiles in their multi-user environments. - Sean On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 8:34 AM, Mike Semon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Roaming Profiles are one of the thorns of the Terminal Server /Citrix > World.
