Glenn,

How do your scripts below save a file to the users of terminal services?
I would have thought that the terminal service wouldn't save anything to
the user's PC.

Here goes...

Background: when I first set up my terminal services, I created "local"
=
printers for each network queue, so that I wouldn't have to deal with =
scripting printer installation for each user...

<--------start SavePrinter.vbs LOGOFF script-------->
1. Option Explicit
2. Dim strRegKey, strPrinter

8. Set objNet =3D CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")=20
9. 'Create the folder, if it does not exist
10. If Not objfso.FolderExists("\\DCSvrFiles01\TSHome\" & =
objnet.UserName & "\DefaultPrinter") Then
11.  Set objFolder =3D objFSO.CreateFolder("\\DCSvrFiles01\TSHome\" & =
objnet.UserName & "\DefaultPrinter")
12. End If
13. 'Delete the file if it exists

Make sure that you remove the line numbers... If a line doesn't have a =
number, it wrapped.  Un wrap it before you go.

These will run fine "stand-alone" if you want to test them... "CSCRIPT =
<scriptname>.vbs"
