We have Server 2008 R2 RDS adn on top of that we have installed Citrix XenApp 6.5
In our environment we have enabled Microsoft Roaming Profiles and Folder redirection.
However our users have to wait 60 -90 seconds before they can see and work with the apps ( during this time the , GPO are applied ,their profile is loading ,desktop settings are applied )
I have seen a lot of citrix environments where the application launch time is below 30 seconds (with roaming ptofiles and folder redirection enabled)
I have checked the details in citrix and it shows me around 90% of launching time is consumed by Profile Loading.
I was wondering if someone has a tip or two.
In our case we have setup teh profile path on a DFS share using the policy "Set roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer""
However i saw there is another place where we can setup this for RDS 2008 R2 , the place is
Set path for Remote Desktop Services Roaming User Profile
Is there any difference in the two and can we gain some speed if we use the 2nd instead of 1st.
