All terminal users have roaming profiles, that copy back and forth between a dedicated server upon logging on and off the network. The actual upgrade stage went very smoothly. Microsoft has done a nice job with support for migrating from previous versions. On the first day with Office 2010, all user roaming profiles migrated successfully to the new versions, including Outlook profiles.
Microsoft has three ways of resolving the problem which include: 1. 2. 3. \servershareOffice 2010 Englishsetup.exe /admin. Home. Roaming User Customisations in Office 2010 | Aaron Parker.

Posted 18 May 2010 - 04:08 PM I have always ran explorer.exe in my MetaFrame and Citrix environments. I even had it running in XenApp5. Since I rebuilt my farm to XenApp 6, Windows 2008 R2 I cannot launch Explorer.

About remote desktop loggin with the same domain account simultaneously.
Hi, Yes, you can, however, I do not recommend it in most cases. On Server 2003 and earlier, each user will see each other user's printers, each user will change the default printer for the other users, they will share the same profile in memory, they will have access to other sessions, they will change preferences affecting the others, etc. Under 2008 the situation is a little bit better because each user will not see printers from other sessions by default. Many applications are not designed to handle the case where other instances of the application are running at the same time on the same machine under the same user account and profile. Now if you fully understand all of the potential issues (and they are either not applicable or you resolve them), then having multiple users logon concurrently using the same account can work.
