Hi Pavlo,
Why does it absolutely need a local home drive?
Have you checked it out with filemon? What system variables is it using
(%windir%, %homedrive%?)
Could you do something like point it to, for example, a T: drive
substitued to %temp%.
Regards,
Rick

You wouldn't happen to be using Win2k3 Terminal Server are you? If so,
you can use GPO's to do exactly what your trying to do.

Subject: [THIN] conditional setting for home drive
Hi group,
I have an older telnet-based application (Jbase30 )running on the
dedicated server. Users access it through terminal programm (Accuterm
97) published in Citrix.
This app seem to require an home drive set to local drive
d:\Users\username. We set user's home drive to local d:\users\username
in AD and it works fine. Now when same user uses normal windows apps in
my citrix (with remapped drives to x and y) there is no d drive and
things become pretty ugly.
I think about clearing home drive settings in AD and manipulate user
home drive settings depending on server he/she logs on to. I can get as
far as setting the condition in my logon script:
If exist d:\JBASE30\bin\jsh.exe goto JBASE
If exist %windir%\system\kernel32.dll goto WIN_OK
If exist %windir%\system32\kernel32.dll goto WIN_OK
:WIN_OK
net use u: \\server_name\sharename\%username%
SET HOMEDRIVE=U
SET HOMESHARE=\\server_name\sharename\%username%
echo The letter U: on your computer has been mapped to your user account
goto EXIT
:JBASE
SET HOMEDRIVE=D
SET HOMEPATH=\USERS\%USERNAME%
goto EXIT
:EXIT
I verified my condition works. Currently Home Drive setting for the test
user is set to local drive and is blank. Any server I log in to defaults
my home variables to systemroot\documents and Settings\%username%. This
means I can not overwrite what is set in AD. Can someone piont me in the
right direction?
Thanks a lot,
