We've always achieved this using a Group Policy. There are several on
http://thethin.net/tsdownload.cfm that have the Profile path included in
them. The other way you could do it is set it via a script in the
usrlogon.cmd file and use the Gettype utility(also available at the url
above) to figure the OS version and put the profile in the proper directory.

JK

This doesn't address how to change multiple paths, but thought it might
be helpful. In my environment, we still have an NT 4.0/MF1.8 farm and a
Win2k/MF XP farm. One NT user account needs to be able to access both
systems. If you have a central profile server, most likely after the
user logs into Win2k they will have problems logging into NT 4.0 with
the same profile. To get by this, I have the following in the TS
Profile path for all my users "\\%COMPUTERNAME%\profiles$\default.man"
No matter what server or OS the user hits for a published app they
always take the default mandatory profile that is setup on that
particular server. No worries of profile corruption either unless it
happens to the main one. Of course this may not work so nicely if you
are using roaming profiles.
HTH,
Paul

We have several different Citrix farms located around the world and
managed
by different administrators. And, some of those farms have NT TSE and
some
have 2000. Also, we have Citrix users that are also server
administrators
on other 2000 servers. So that we can keep the profiles closer to the
physical servers, keep the different os's from corrupting the profiles,
and
allow server administrators a completely unlocked down environment on
2000
non-Citrix systems, we want to implement profiles with variables.
Then,
we'll set system variables on the servers to maintain different
profiles for
the different environments. FYI: Our userids are in multiple NT4
domains.
So, we actually want %profilets% to be in the TSProfilePath. We are
also
thinking about doing the same thing for the TSHomeDirectory. While I
looks
like TSPROF could work for the profile path, I haven't seen where it
could
also do the home directory. ADDUSERS looks promising, but I cannot
seem to
get it to update an existing user account. So, the search goes on.

Perhaps I am missing the boat on this and feel free to tell me if I
am....but...
If you are setting the profile path for a list of users, you probably
already know the path to the profile directory, and then the only thing
that
changes is the username, correct?
I use this (somewhat modified for security reasons) line in my setup
script:
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\newuser\tscmd %server%
%newusername%
TerminalServerProfilePath
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\Profiles\%newusername%
(note this probably wraps, but it really is all on one line)
Where %server% is set to the PDC for the NT4 Domain of the new user
being
created (we have more than one domain)
and %newusername% is set to the username of the account being
modified.
So, perhaps, you could create a text file with a list of usernames, say
name
it USERS.TXT
Then you would use a simple FOR /F loop to make the change to each
users
profile...for example:
FOR /F "eol=;" %%l in (C:\USERS.TXT) DO
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\newuser\tscmd MYPDC %%l
TerminalServerProfilePath
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\Profiles\%%l
(again, the above line will probably wrap)
Hope this helps.
