I have tried to use that one but when I emailed tech support about it (over
a month ago) to find the correct syntax to use for it they never responded
so after about a week I gave up on theirs and continued to use the one that
I have been using by Thomas EcK and added some of my own stuff to the script
as well

Emergent Online also publishes a .dll that will do this (and just about any
other Citrix\Terminal Server function). Can't remember the name right now,
but it's under their free tools section on their website. I actually
emailed them for tech support, when I was using it, and got a response in
about 15 minutes. Very nice for a freebie....

I use VBScript to change TSProfilePaths and TSHomeDrives all the time on
Win2K using Thomas Eck's COM object. It *DOES* work on Win2K. In fact, it
works on NT4, too.

As I understand the things written, it will only work with =3D3D
windows2003??? Who is runnign w2k3?, I'm not and I don't know anyone who
is.....so =3D3D maybe in the near future this will be a blessing but now
it's just a nice very welcome addition we needed at least two years ago.
Sorry to be so cynical but I've been looking for a tool like this too = =3D
=3D3D long already, and now this is like we say "make someone happy with = a
dead =3D3D bird" 'cause none of my current customers will upgrade in the
next year...so =3D3D I'm stuck with the uselessness of the curent tools.
...pffff, letting of steam after a hard day at work......
And for the kix / wsh comparison, kix I use for login scripts and wsh = =3D
=3D3D for administration scripts...so the compare is not relevant for me at
least. =3D3D
Greetings and have a nice evening or working day.

Jeff,
Thanks for the great tip This is really great stuff. I had a lot = of=3D3D20
problems with the terminal server profiles, and I tried to look =3D
into=3D3D20 adsi and scripting. But the older version of the adsi api didn't
expose=3D3D20 the ts profile path property. I believe that this = is an
example of the=3D3D20 superiority of WSH and scripting vs KIX. There had
been a long=3D3D20 discussion about this topic in the previous day. = I am
happy to find some =3D3D
other administrator that is using wsh to create administrator
scripts.=3D3D20
http://www.winnetmag.com/WindowsServer2003/Index.cfm?ArticleID=3D3D3D2636=

This article is about windows server 2003 that is actually shipping with
=3D3D
a specific dll for terminal server.
