Hello,
We have a citrix-environment with about 150 Terminalservers running Windows
2k3 SP1. Users have roaming-profile.

Problem:
A user is starting a published application and gets the windows-message,
that he needs to change the password. The User change his password and the
application starts.
The Problem is that in this situation the server does not load the
roaming-profile. He creates a local-profile with the default-settings.

I have found this Hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833409
I've tried to install this hotfix, but it did not work because the fix is
already included in the sp1!

Any ideas?

Thanks

If your users have roaming profile paths defined in their ADUC properties,
note that these are meant for normal domain workstation logins. Not for
terminal server use. If the users also use TS, you need to specify Terminal
Services profile paths for them - and do not share/mix/match.

Roaming profile path might be \\server\profiles$\%username% - and the TS
profile path might then be \\server\tsprofiles$\%username%.

Perhaps the above will help. However, I'm no citrix guru (so corrections are
welcome), but shouldn't the user have been prompted to change his/her domain
password *before* getting to the point where they could launch the
application itself?

In the properties we only use the TS Profile path. We do not use the
roamingprofile path (It's blank). Sorry my fault of explanation...

Right now I've tested a RDP-Connection to one of this TS-Servers. The
problem was occured too.
I checked the userproperties "User must change PW on next login", connected
via RDP to the TS, entered my password. Then I was promted to change the pw.
After the change on the server was created a local profile again...

We use a "SingleSignOn"-Software in our environment.
This problem was solved with the installation of a newer Software-Release of
this SingleSignOn-Software.
