AppSense - How to personalize the Windows "Libraries"

Hi,

if you need to personalize the libraries for your users it is very easy done with AppSense. The whole thing you have to do is to make a mirror folder action which copies the whole folder %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries to a network location (Homedrive, Homepath, ...) on logoff and copy it back on logon.

I have attached a short template configuration for this, which could be downloaded here.

AppSense - Default printer not being captured at logoff

Hello,

I had the following problem at an environment. When the user changed his default printer into a XenDesktop/XenApp Session it was not being captured correctly from the AppSense Environment Manager. After some research we found that it seems that a Citrix service is changing the default printer at logoff before EM could capture it and after some digging around we found that the following Citrix printer policy have to set to "Do not adjust the user's default printer":

After setting this policy everything worked correctly.
