Thanks for your replies. We are running a 2003 domain / server environment. Implementing and testing the new Group policy would take time as well as convincing by management. I don't think would be an option for us at this time. ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hendrikus Terwint (SEDIRSI-Prestataire) Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 7:13 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Custom ADM policy for Terminal Services sessions only Because you don't need vb scripts anymore if you can do the same with GP Preferences J & because "Group Policy Preferences also come with item-level targeting options."

To read more on GPP you could check out these articles: http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Group-Policy-related-changes-Windows-Server-2008-Part3.html http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Group-Policy-related-changes-Windows-Server-2008-Part4.html I hope that helps out - good luck!

Heidelberg MVP:Enterprise Security From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Bailey Sent: 12. april 2008 04:03 To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Custom ADM policy for Terminal Services sessions only Hello All, I have created a custom ADM file for mapping network printers for our Windows 2003 terminal services. 1. I want the policy to only get applied to the terminal services sessions and not the workstations the end users is logging on to. It is currently doing both. 2. Is there a way to modify the KEYNAME using the GPMC instead of coding it in the ADM file for future need of printer change outs. I have 4 different printers so I have 4 ADM files, I cannot use loopback processing.
