default profile within Terminal Services

[Guest Owen@7]

Running 2000Sp Pk 4

TS server is Server2003

 

Users only use TS for a billing and scheduling program, and they use their

workstations actual desktop. These machines are using mapped drives (logon

scripts) and folder redirect (group Policy).

When they logon to the TS server, their profiles are mapping the drives and

trying to use the folder redirect. I want them not to do this.

Maybe a default profile for all?

Any suggestions.

Sounds like your users have only a single profile, which is used

both on their workstations and the TS. That's *not* good. It can

easily lead to profile corruption. You should define a TS-specific

profile for all users, either roaming or local.

Enable loopback processing in Group Policy and you can override any user

side GPO's with your own.

 

Computer Policies\Admin Templates\System\Group Policy\User Group Policy

Loopback processing mode.

Re: default profile within Terminal Services

 

Is there a way to use group policy for this?

Do I have to define the users profile within there user properties in AC?

Re: default profile within Terminal Services

 

I apply Loop Back to the group policy that is already in place?

Or do I put the server in an OU and make new group policy with Loop Back?

It's a machine policy. the setting goes on your OU where the terminal

servers are.
