Terminal users default printer is not retained after logout.

I use terminial servers with network printers. All users can use any printer

but they set their own default printer. The default printer is lost when they

log off.

On 2003 server, I created the logon and logoff script below:

 

Logon Script:

REG IMPORT \\server\DefaultPrinters\%clientname%.reg

 

Logoff Script:

 

DEL \\server\DefaultPrinters\%clientname%.reg /q

 

reg export "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Windows"

\\server\DefaultPrinters\%clientname%.reg

 

This works great in 2003 but in 2008, the %clientname% variable is not

created while the logon scripte is run. And, it dissappears before the logoff

scrip is started.

 

IN 2008 I put the logon script in the Startup so it runs and gets the

%clientnamen% correctly but I don't know how to run a logoff script before

the %clientname% dissappears...

 

Qusetion:

How do I retain the default printer set by the user from one terminal

session to the next.

Does anyone have a way to perform this function in 2008 or another way to

achieve this goal?

 

Thanks,

Robert
