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.
