Claudio,
The benefit of Flexprofiles is basically that they are mandatory profiles using
the office profile wizard to save and reload end user office settings during
login and logoff.
So, end users are able to customize their office settings in their session to a
point (typically this info is saved out to their home Dir on logoff), and the
profiles maintain a nice small mandatory profile footprint.
It sounds like your solution does quite a bit more that is typically dealt with
by login scripts / group policies. If you're really looking to make a solution
that is a flexprofile replacement . . All you need to do is include the option
of defining OPS settings. (arguably this could already be done with your
solution by running the OPS wizard from a login script).
Since you're already doing a lot with the end users login environment, you may
want to see if you can include an option for registry key changes for end users
on login as well.
I'm certainly interested in trying out what you've got so far, sounds cool.
Thanks much for sharing.

Hey Guys,
As some of you are aware we have been working on a new product called
WTSProfiles.
The thing is as I do not use FlexProfiles I have no idea on what exactly
administrators are looking for when they use FlexProfiles.
So now that we released WTSProfiles for testing, I would love to hear from you
what must be added to the final build to make it a true replacement for
FlexProfiles. Currently we can handle different settings based on:
- User/Group membership (local, AD, etc).
- Machine/IP the session is coming from.
The settings we currently handle are:
- Mapped drives.
- Mapped Printers.
- Lock down of the user interface.
- Adding custom desktop icons.
- Running login scripts.
And so on. All in an easy to use GUI.
What else do you want to have on the product?
You can download it for testing directly at:
http://www.terminal-services.net/downloads/WTSProfiles.exe
Note this is NOT the final version and there is no help included on it. If you
need assistance feel free to post directly in our forums
(http://forums.terminal-services.net) or to email/give me a call.
Thanks!
