Re: Group Policy TS User Home setting



I know this is a pain to maintain but you can assign home directories through the user account properties.

That is what I thought, too bad Microsoft have not implemented this possibility.

I have several customers that require this (for ts user home) due to home directories consuming so much disk space that you get like 600GB+ disk volumes...

Of course it is possible to divide the users to logon to group of terminal servers configured with a certain home share, however that is tiresome when it comes to administration.

Unfortunately it cannot. You can only specify one share per server.

May I ask why you would need multiple shares for the TS profiles anyway?

Consider the following scenario. A terminal server Citrix farm, Active Directory Group Policies configured with the "TS User Home" GPO setting - pointing to "\\server\share". The the need for using multiple home shares is required. However the setup does not use any per-user account settings, such as terminal server home/profile settings, logon scripts are configured using GPO, folder redirection, ts roaming profiles and ts home is configured using GPO.

How can this setup support mutiple home shares? Thanks

I'm not sure what your asking. The GPO setting already does what your example shows. Maybe if you give an example of exactly what your looking for.

Hi

Is there a way using only Group Policy settings to configure multiple home directory shares when using the Computer Configuration setting "TS User Home"? The home directory is a top-level share with subfolder for each home directory. E.g. \\server\user share\%username%.

I know it's possible to use variables for the "TS User Home" Group Policy setting and then use it together with Terminal Services Home Folder per user account, however I don't want to use any per-user account settings.

Can't really see that this have changed with Windows Server 2008 either..

Thanks.
