Re: Group Policy TS User Home setting

That is part of the solution I'm going to try.

1. Place Citrix PS server on different subnets.
2. Configure Citrix zone balancing the citrix policies to point certain
groups of users to subnets
3. dfs for ts user home

I have not tried this yet so it may not work, but we'll see.

Yes I know, but I don't like telling this to customers that already manage
their settings using Group Policy.

Oh I wish there was a way to ensure that Microsoft put the right
functionality into products - but I guess there is a great mass of customers
saying just the same...however a date from Microsoft when this functionality
would be available would at least be something, but again I know they won't
promise nothin'

Thanks for helping me out.

That is what I thought, too bad Microsoft have not implemented this
possibility.

I have several customers that require this (for ts user home) due to home
directories consuming so much disk space that you get like 600GB+ disk
volumes...

Of course it is possible to divide the users to logon to group of terminal
servers configured with a certain home share, however that is tiresome when
it comes to administration.

Unfortunately it cannot. You can only specify one share per server.

May I ask why you would need multiple shares for the TS profiles anyway?

Consider the following scenario. A terminal server Citrix farm, Active
Directory Group Policies configured with the "TS User Home" GPO setting -
pointing to "\\server\share". The the need for using multiple home shares is
required. However the setup does not use any per-user account settings, such
as terminal server home/profile settings, logon scripts are configured using
GPO, folder redirection, ts roaming profiles and ts home is configured using
GPO.

How can this setup support mutiple home shares? Thanks

I'm not sure what your asking. The GPO setting already does what your
example shows. Maybe if you give an example of exactly what your
looking for.

Hi

Is there a way using only Group Policy settings to configure multiple home
directory shares when using the Computer Configuration setting "TS User
Home"? The home directory is a top-level share with subfolder for each home
directory. E.g. \\server\user share\%username%.

I know it's possible to use variables for the "TS User Home" Group Policy
setting and then use it together with Terminal Services Home Folder per user
account, however I don't want to use any per-user account settings.

Can't really see that this have changed with Windows Server 2008 either..

Thanks.
