hi guys, I am trying to come up with a kix script for a nt 4 domain with nt/2000/xp/98 clients. Users connect to a citrix farm.
Problem: profiles are being stored locally on the Citrix server that the they log on to instead of specific server dedicated to store profiles only. \\servername>\profiles\.
I'm hoping someone can help me with the following:
A script to create home directory \\\%USERNAME%$ and the profile path \\\%USERNAME%-p$ (on the PDC) automatically when clients logon to Citrix Farm. I'm not very familiar with writing scripts so, please help!!! Thanks.

Shane, thanks for responding. Yes, everyone will have access to the (hidden) share where the profiles are located. So, when a user logs on to the citrix farm, their profile gets pulled from \\<servername>\%USERNAME%-p$ to the citrix server they are logged on in the farm.
As for the profile settings, I currently setup each user mailbox and default file location (to store their own files). Would be nice if I can set that up also...but no biggie!!
Thanks again

Jens, will the script create the home directory and user profile on a designated server when clients logon to Citrix Farm? I don't even know where to begin! Do you have such a script? Thanks

The home directory does not have to be on the server oin the Citrix farm. This sounds like something you should not do. Create all the directories and shares on a file/print server and have the user connect to there when logging on.

Howard, that's exactly what I'm trying to do....create the directories (home and user profile) shares (hidden) on a file server. How do I do it? Can you please send or direct me where I can find a script like this? Thanks in advance.

Go to the terminal Services tab of AD users and Computers and you should be able to do this en-masse. If this does not cover it, try Hyena.. You should never have the client create their directory, it should be controlled via User Management.
There are a couple of scripts that have been fiddled with here for Citrix Profiles. I have created a Roaming profiles clean-up script.. You may want to look at this one as it may cover some more of what you are looking for - http://www.rgcweb.org/kix/
But then again, you need to create the folders. I have done this.. If you have a list of users, you can pipe them in and do a NET SHARE from the server console.

Thanks for your input. I'll look at the resources you have supplied me with. I'll get back to you guys, if I run into more problems/questions (which I probably will, as I'm very new at this). Thanks
