Re: Application INI not moving to Users Home Directory

There have been some more reports of this problem in various
forums. It only affects W2K Terminal Servers, not 2003 TS.
It's caused by the way MS06-051 fixes the
"User Profile Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability"

You can use the workaround described under

We have an application called FSP, that has been working fine on
our Terminal server. We installed the latest round of windows
security patches and fixes, did a reboot and now we are having
problems with it. (Odd thing is it is just this one app,
everything else seems to work fine.)

What is happing is the application uses an INI file to keep
track of your setting and such. Well it keeps overwriting the
same INI file now in the \WINNT dir of the terminal server, not
the home dir of the indivdual users. Users see the settings of
the person that last logged in, not there own.

Any ideas what would break the INI mapping for just one
application. Like I said the others seem to work just fine,
INI's are created as expected.

Thanks,

Shelby
