Do things in recycle bin not get synced to the cloud/backed up?(edit: nope seems everything from breaking migration tool, ballooning profiles and overzealous compliance can be mitigated elsewhere). Hence doing so in the roll out? No idea otherwise or why they wouldn’t know. Sometimes we just get told to do things a certain way. Not IT anymore but currently work with engineers who try shortcutting triage queues (probably in an attempt to save everyone time, not maliciously) and we have to undo their assignment and triage it as laid out. Specifically we were told “people will try to tell you who to send internal requests to, ignore them”. Largely for accountability so tickets/requests don’t get dropped or breach SLA and also because it can break workflows. Locking out recycle bins without being able to provide a good reason is pretty wild though lmao.
They said they it’s a Citrix thing. They are getting rid of Citrix too, which is fine as it’s a pain in the ass, but moving to full PCs for remote workers tha don’t need them is a ridiculous waste of time and money, especially now. It’s just going to make things worse because supporting that won’t scale as cleanly.
And why this migration? It’s not like Citrix was a bad idea on the first place. It actually solves some real problems for us.
IT: “because we can’t remote into a Citrix box.” Me: “the fuck you cant.”
Citrix literally makes a tool for doing exactly that! Its called Citrix Director and while yes it's just as slightly-not-quite-wonky as everything else Citrix, it works quite well for remoting into a thin client's session among other management features
Pretty sure it's more of a redirected folder thing with Windows, but Windows has been pretty wonky recently about redirected folders and profiles. By memory of my last Citrix environment redirecting the recycle bin is completely possible but bad practice since it's just more profile data to fling around and slow down login times
