Re: Can't set Terminal Services profile path for some users

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Paul

I'm actually running this on one of the DC's. I checked the event log for
errors - and couldn't see anything relevant. The DC's are otherwise
"healthy". The share holding the profiles is a Windows 2000 cluster node,
and is already storing the normal desktop profiles for our 500 users.

I noticed today that if we try and configure ANY property on the Terminal
Services tab of the properties of the User object in AD Users and Computers
it gives that "parameter is incorrect error". But it's only for about 20% of
our users. So it's not related to the actual path I'm entering, or
permissions to the profiles share etc.

Thanks
Ray

You could try running filemon from sysinternals (Freeware) and see if you
get any errors when attempting to do this.

Hi there

I need to configure a terminal services profile path for all our users.
I'm
using a script, together with the TSPROF utility to do this. However,
when
trying to set the profile path for SOME of our users, we get this error:-

Failed setting User Configuration, Error = 87 (0x57)

When we try and do it manually in Active Directory Users and Computers for
the same users TSPROF is failing on, we get:-

"Operation failed. The parameter is incorrect."

It must be a property of certain users that's causing this, but i can't
see
anything different between users that may be causing this...?!!

Any ideas?

Thanks
Raymond
