Modify Citrix Profile Management policy for the affected group of users to use FQDN of profile share instead of Hostname.

Problem Cause

During session launch Citrix Profile Management Service identifies if the user should be processed and also determines the path where the User Profile is stored.

If the Policy contains any variables in the User Store profile path, these will be completed at run time. During the logon process a delay occurs for hostname resolution of the profile share during the lookup phase for the user profile path.
