Re: Shared User Folders and printer setup

When I log into the TS server from a remote desktop with the users name, Z:
points to that users home folder. I.E.:

log in using their name.
go to DOS prompt: It shows Z:\
close DOS prompt.
open my computer.
Z:\ is shown as "user name" on "TS name"\users

This is telling me that it is mapping Z: to their home which is what it is
supposed to do.

Is Z: only mapping to the root? If you look at the mapped drive is it
in the users home directory or the root?

I hope the following makes sense.
I have a 2003 standard server setup running as a Terminal Server to allow
our other location (several miles away) to access our main SBS 2003 server
and run our Mfg/accntg software. We have a program called 'Check Factory'
that allows the printinf of forms and checks to blank stock.
In order to get this software to work Trans-Micro (the makers of Check
Factory) have a detailed procedure that allows multiple Terminal Server users
to run the software at the same time.
Here is the setup procedure that should allow the software to print to
the correct client printer (which I have followed):

01: Install the Check Factory Workstation program at the TS console (logged
in as administrator) via Add/Remove Programs

02: Create a Users folder under the root C: and share it giving everyone
full permissions. Map this folder to Z:

03: Add a printer and show the port as
New port - Local - Z:\LFECF000
Call the printer Check Factory

04: Under Manage Computer/users
Set each users TS Home Profile to connect to:
Z: \\"TS name"\users\"users name"
(Where TS name = our Ts server name and user name = the user)

(This should cause Check Factory to print its info to Z:LFECF000 and then it
calls up its program where the user selects the form layout they need and the
printer they wish to print to (usually their local desktop printer) and then
the program prints the info with the form.)

This should allow each user to use the previously created Check Factory
printer when they print a form and the created files that the program writes
are in their respective home directories.
No matter how I try and/or how many times I recreated all the above steps
the created printer prints its 'Z:\LFECF000' file to the root Z: (C:\Users\)
Does anyone have any idea why and how can I get it to look at the Home
directory path Z: for each user?
