Roaming Profiles for multiple Terminal Server farms

[SC]

Is it possible to control Computer specific roaming
profile settings through a Group Policy. What I mean by
this is I have multiple Citrix/TS server farms at various
sites all connected via WAN links. I would like to
enable roaming profiles, but do not want profiles to have
to traverse the WAN. I would like to use GPOs applied to
each server to specify that all users connecting to that
server will pull a roaming profile from a share that is
local to that TS server.

This way when user1 at site1 connects to TS1 at site 1 he
gets his profile from a local server. And when user1
connects to TS2 at site2 for a different set of apps, he
will pull his roaming profile from a server that is in
site2. Can this be done? How would I configure my GPO?

Thanks

This is today possible in Windows Server 2003 Group Policies. If you use the
updated administrative templates on a Windows2000 Domain Controller it may
will work since this is a registry based policy setting

Create an OU for each site and put the Terminal Server computers into the
appropriate OU by site.

Create a seperate GPO for each site, set the Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\ Terminal
Service\Set path for TS Roaming Profiles in each of the GPOs to point at a
share on a server that is local to that site and link the site specific GPO
to the site OU.

That way, the TS computers in a particular site will use the GPO for that
site and thus the TS Roaming Profile folder specific to that site.
