Profile Location

[dmahler]

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

Are you deleting cached copies of the roaming profiles when users log off

Thanks for your help. We do not use roaming profiles....

Can I assume that you're redirecting the Home Folders to network location and that you're doing something to restrict the size of the Temporary Internet Files from it's obscene default value?

This is only supported during an unattended setup of the server.
Check here for an unsupported way of doing this on an existing
server:
