If you would like to retain user settings in Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server then you cannot use Mandatory profiles. The only way to retain settings and use Mandatory Profiles is if you have Appsense as Appsense allows you to export and import hives during logon and logoff.
Read the following article from Citrix if you would like more information on User Profiles in Citrix
Network drives don’t map sometimes during logon
December 3, 2008 by John Tran · Leave a Comment
If your users are complaining that they don’t get their network map drives when logging onto Windows. Don’t just tell them to log off and log back on eventhough this will work most of the time.
The problem is that Windows XP has fast logon. This feature will not wait for network connectivity and will just use cached credentials to logon to the computer. Therefore, the logon script is ignored, hence the user will not get their network drives.
To fix this problem enable Computer the Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon feature in group policy
Full path is Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon: Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon.
If this doesn’t fix the problem then you may need to enable scripting across a slow network connection in the group policy that contains the logon script.
To do this go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy
Look for Scripts policy processing. Double click on Scipts policy processing and select (check) Enabled. Then, also select (check) Allow processing across a slow network connection in the box and press OK.
Note: Other default behaviours that is not executing when slow link detected can also be changed:
Folder redirection policy processing
Disk quota policy processing
Scripts policy processing
EFS recovery policy processing
Software installation policy processing
IP security policy processing
Internet Explorer Maintenance policy processing
Wireless policy processing
