Hi, I am running a 7 server citrix XenApp 5.0 farm running on Server 2008 64 bit edition. It is on a 2003 domain.
To create a mandatory profile and have all citrix users point to it... I am doing something wrong.
I created a share on my 7th citrix server for the profile ( \\stuctx07\profiles$ )
I created a folder inside of that, and named it profile, so the full profile path is \\stuctx07\profiles$\profile
I copied a profile to that directory, and renamed the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man
Under the profile tab in AD for the test users, I put: \\stuctx07\profiles$\profile
When I load the published desktop, it pops up with the "user profile was not loaded correctly" bubble. It basically tells me I failed at my job, and it is pulling a tempory profile from somewhere. :)
I did notice that the ntuser.man was renamed to ntuser.man.log
The user has read and list access to the profile.
I think that pretty much explains my problem, what am I missing to pull the profile down?
Thanks guys.

I tried it with just the TS profile box filled, and with both the profile, and TSprofile box filled and still no go.
Now, I have an event log for it. ID:1521
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.
I can log onto a computer, with the very same account, and map to the profile, and manually add or remove folders. So AD permissions or network connectivity is not an issue.
I read some similar issues with Windows Vista not accepting permissions on profiles as well, but the fix discussed using the actual server name instead of %logonserver%. I am not using the login server, nor am I using any percent sign happiness. :) So I should be good in that respect.
Has anyone had similar issues?
I am getting closer on this... but it is still not resolved. In server 2008 and vista they have what they call version 2 profiles. Version 1 profiles are for Server 2000, 2003, and windows XP. Version 2 profiles are for Server 2008 and Vista (and I assume Windows 7) When I figure it out I will update the forum for all the people who get this on google. :)
