Teminal Server Profiles

[Guest David Griffiths]

Hi, we are just experimenting with TS running just the basic available 2

logons with W2K3 sever.

 

We have set up some users, with one user I gave the terninal server profile

path the path to the roaming profile for that user, we have decided that

that is not what we want right now and I have removed the bpath from the

Terminal Services Profile tab in AD and deleted the users profile folder

from document and settings on the server.

 

When we log in as thta user it still creates the profile folder with over

2Gb of data from the roaming profile. There must be something else I must do

to stop this from happening. All the other users we setup for test and did

not give the profile path work OK

 

We have set the HOME directory for all test users.

 

can someone please help with this.

 

Thanks in advance

Technically speaking, in W2003, that's just remote desktop for admin

purposes - TS is something you have to install (and hence license).

Keep the roaming profile paths & TS profile paths entirely separate....if

you use \\server\profiles$\%username% for your roaming profiles, use

\\server\tsprofiles$\%username% for the TS ones.

Did you remove it in control panel | system | advanced? Don't just delete

the file system data....

Wow...if you have 2GB roaming profiles, I think you have some larger

problems. You should use folder redirection both for your desktops and your

TS box - for My Documents at the very least, and ideally Application

Data/Desktop too. Keep your profiles *tiny*.

That's fine. You can use folder redirection to the home directory.
