Keeping local profiles in sync

We are running a W2K/AS domain with multiple servers. We have 2 additional
servers running Citrix MetaFrame XPa. Our users log into the Citrix farm and
load balancing decides which server should get the session connection. The
problem I'm running into is that each server has it's own set of local
profiles (Documents & Settings\....). I need to get them into sync. The
profiles on the CITRIX are the "master" and CITRIX2 need to match CITRIX. At
the current time, roaming profiles are not an option.

What I'm looking for is a programmatic way to copy the profiles from CITRIX
to CITRIX2. If I can set that up, I can create a scheduled event that will
run it overnight.

If there are other options, I'd be interested.

Use robocopy from the reskit supplement, tip 3277 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at
http://www.jsiinc.com for the list of tools.

RoboCopy has a sync option.

I use it to sync all sorts of object on the laptop with my desktop, just before
leaving on a trip. When I return, I reverse the process.
