Thomas Eck, author of 'Windows NT/2000 ADSI Scripting for System
Administration' (which, in my opinion, is a MUST HAVE for any consultant
or administrator), has written about this very subject. With ADSI, you
can get to and set just about all parts of the user's properties, with
the exception of the TS Profile Path and the TS Home Drive. You CAN set
it using API calls, but you can't use API calls in VBScript. The answer
to this is to encapsulate the API calls in a COM object (a DLL) that CAN
be accessed by VBScript. He's written just such a COM object and you can
download it. I use it all the time to set TS Profile Paths and TS Home
Drives from VBScript.

Like a lot of other people on this list, I'm looking for a way also for
a long time There is no simple way of doing this. We tried to change the
schema so that when copying a user the tsprofile paths would be
inherited like the profile paths do. This didn't work unfortunatly....
So I stand beside you in your quest for the holy script.

Rob

Onderwerp: [THIN] Applying TsProfilePath via TSCMD with Variables
I have a list of userids for which I would like to change their=20
TerminalServerProfilePath to all be:
%profile%\%username%
TSCMD doesn't seem to like the variables. Is there anyway that I can do
this?
(Sorry, but I'm not much of a scripting expert.)
