Guest David Griffiths Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 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 Dave Griffiths

Technically speaking, in W2003, that's just remote desktop for admin purposes - TS is something you have to install (and hence license). > > 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, 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. > 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. Did you remove it in control panel | system | advanced?

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*. > 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. That's fine. You can use folder redirection to the home directory. > > can someone please help with this. Hope the above helps. > > Thanks in advance > > Dave Griffiths
