Hello,

We are running a Windows 2000 Domain in mixed mode. We have a couple
of Citrix Metaframe XPa servers that run as member servers. We are
trying to conserve space on the boot and system partition. Does anyone
know how to successfully move a profile from one partition to another
when the user logs into the domain and the profile is stored locally?

We have tried the following solution with no success:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Name: ProfilesDirectory
Data Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: path (this would actually be the path to the folder on the
other partition you're wanting to use)

What happened was the system created a new profile with ".domain"
attached on the "C" drive.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

David

Hi David,

I don't know if Citrix is getting in the way or not but I don't have a
problem moving this on a server without Citrix.

Here is what I did:
Made a new Profiles folder on the root of D:
Made sure the Advanced permissions of the D:\Profiles folder matched
C:\Documents and Settings
Copied the All Users and Default Users profiles into D:\Profiles.
Verified Advanced permissions on these two folders also matched the
originals on C:\Documents and Settings
Edited the ProfilesDirectory value under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and pointed it to D:\Profiles.

After the reboot, all new users who logon to the server got their local
profile created in D:\Profiles.

If you did the same steps try it on a machine without Citrix and see if it
can be moved.
