The purpose of Profile in CItrix Xenapp
I would like to know when does the profile factor in Citrix Xenapp.
For instance if I have applications published, I believe users will just run them off of their PCs without login into Citrix Xenapp server, so would launching a published application create a user profile in Xenapp server?
I know in old Windows TS , users login to TS server and Launch applications from within the server, this will create user profile inside Windows TS, but in Citrix they only launch the receiver , and I do not think the receiver creates user profile in Citrix XenApp Servers.
Any clarifications on this ?
Thanks

***in Our Environment we have Intranet site which is SharePoint Site, the icon is on sharepoint site. When they click on the icon , it triggers citrix receiver and then it opens up the published application.
So are you saying Citrix Receiver will take your windows profile along to Xenapp server that has presented the application for you ? I know ICA packets use Virtual Channels that carries a lot of information related to a user and his workstation peripherals over to Xenapp server, I am not sure if it carries windows user profile along to Xenapp..

If I understand what you are saying, when user clicks on the icon of a published Application, even though there is no prompt for user to type in user name and password to login to Xenapp server that host the application, but in the background it occurs seamlessly just like logging to Windows computer , and the profile gets created...?

In this case where is the user profile information going to be saved on user workstation or on the citrix xenapp server where the application physically is installed. ?
