Hey guys, I've been having an issue for a while now with profiles on a 3 server Citrix farm. First off, we're having a big problem with profiles not closing properly. I've installed the Hive Cleanup tool on every server, but we're still getting username.DOMAIN and username.DOMAIN.001 .002 . . . etc. I've not been able to figure out what I can do to fix this. I've been able to determine the following: When a user opens up two published applications that happen to be published on two different servers, it'll "hose up" their profile. Other things that will hose up profiles would be opening and closing a program at the same time, closing two programs at the same time, or simply shutting their computer off before the logoff process is completed. When their profile's hosed up, it will take them between 7 and 10 minutes to "save settings" when logging off of the server. A hosed up profile will also remove ownership and rights for ANYBODY from their entire profile folder, and make the username.DOMAIN profile folder. When I take rights and make them inheritable throughout the entire folder, there are still files that will not allow me to delete them; saying there's an access violation. I can usually mess around with the files long enough to get them deleted . . .
Since we have multiple servers, the only thing I could think of that would get the desktop settings and share them across the servers would be to use a Terminal Server Roaming Profile and point it to one server's profile; that way that profile would be the "main" profile for all settings.
What I would like to figure out is, is there a way to tell all of the servers that all profiles belong in "X" location - regardless of what server they're on? Also, can anybody recommend a fix for the username.DOMAIN issue besides the hive cleanup? This wouldn't be such a huge issue if we didn't have 4 servers each with a profile (including the DC) and over 100 users . . .
Thanks!
