[THIN] Re: Need help in overriding machine GPO

Try System Tools Hyena for updating TS Profiles and Home drives. They
have a free trial that will allow you to work for 15 or 30 days for
free. I've used Hyena on and off since NT4 and it is a great tool for
managing user accounts and reporting.

Subject: [THIN] Re: Need help in overriding machine GPO

Hi

Thought as much..  No, I simply need to specify different directories on
the 
same server.  A new requirement has popped up and the current setup
doesn't 
really cater for it as the GPO are hardcoded to specific directories..

I may look into tools that will allow me to populate the AD user objects

with TS Profile + Home Drive settings.  Once this is set, I'll remove
the 
GPO settings and all will be good.  My only issue is I have 500 user
objects 
that need updating...
