TS, Citrix and GPOs

[Guest]

We are using Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPO) which maps drives,
etc for all domain users during startup. However, we do not want these GPOs
to be applied when the same domain users are connected to a Citrix Session.
Any ideas? I tried adding the citrix server to the security property of the
GPO and placed a check on deny policy but it did not work. Is there a bacth
file or login script I can do to not apply the GPO if the user is using
Citrix?

Place your Citrix servers in a special OU, separate from the
client computers and the user accounts. Define a GPO with the
settings you want to be applied to ica sessions, link this GPO to
the OU that contains the Citrix servers and use "loopback
processing" of the GPO, with the "Replace" option.
