Profile Management

First of all you will need to ensure that the Profile Management ADMX Templates have been installed by following this guide.

To set up Profile Management within a Citrix Environment you will need to use Group Policy. The following settings will need to be set up:

General Group Policy Settings

Edit a GPO that applies to all machines that have the Profile Management service (Virtual Delivery Agent) installed.

Specify the UNC path to the folder share. An example path is below:

\\adam-fsclst-01\Profiles\%username%

Disable Active write back. This places additional load on the file server and is only needed if users login to multiple machines concurrently and need mid-session changes to be saved. Note: if you don’t configure this, it is enabled by default.
