Re: Help with a configuration of profiles

I assume that you are talking about the user's TS-specific profile,
and not their normal profile?
Where and how exactly did you try to define the logon script?

There are many ways to define a logon script for all users on a TS.
Probably the easiest way is to define a logon script in a GPO
linked to the OU which contains the Terminal Server:

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Scripts
Logon

And since this is a user setting, you also have to use loopback
processing of the GPO:

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Group
Policy
"User Group Policy loopback processing mode" - "Replace"

Note that if you start the frontend in the environment tab of the
user account, you should only put the copy command in the logon
script.

Hello Vera

so i would make a batch file with those commands?

i have it set that on the enviroment tab it starts the
frontend, but where would i put the login script? can i do it
for a group of users, or does it have to be individually per
user?

we tried a test logon script in the profile - user profile -
logon script and it didnt seem to work.

do we need to put it some where else? these are all terminal
server users so is there a difference between loging on directly
to the machine or terminalling in? or would it use the profile
set up regardless of how they are loging in?

really new to trying to set up this kind of thing, thanks for
any and all help. :)

You can do the copying in your logon script, and define the
frontend as the starting application in TS Configuration.
Or define a new command file as the starting application, and
do both the copying and execution of the frontend there.
Something like:

copy \\server\share\frontend.exe %userprofile%\Desktop
start /wait %userprofile%\Desktop\frontend.exe

Hello All

i am trying to set up a system for my terminal server, that
would copy a file from a specific location as the user logs
in, and then starts that file as the only application the
user is allowed to run.

here is the situation...

i have an access application that we are running on a
terminal server using a thin client setup. currently all
users use the same access frontend located in a specific
folder. this works, but makes updating that frontend a pain.
i have to kick everyone out to do it. this application
frontend should be copied to thier user account into thier
terminal service profile. however with the amount of users
doing this manually would take way to much time.

what i would like is to have a login system in place that
finds the frontend file and copies it to the users desktop in
thier terminal server profile. then starts that file and is
the only file that they can run. having the client frontend
the only thing they can run is already working, but the
copying of the file to every users frontend part is something
i have no idea how to accomplish.

the other thing i wonder about is if i have a logon script
that copies the file everytime to the users profile would
that cause a problem with the frontend being the only thing
allowed to run at start up?

i hope this makes some sense... i havent a lot of experience
with terminal services and if someone could help me walk
through this it would be greatly appreciated.
