Hi,
I do not have the "Delete Locally Cached Profiles" set. I have some
scripts that I wrote perform this task on a periodic basis. =20
As far as the ProfileList key, I do have that set to d:\documents and
settings. This functionality is working. New users get created in
d:\documents and settings. Unfortunately when an app looks to change
c:\winnt\file.ini, the OS is still looking in c:\documents and settings
and not d:\documents and settings.
I think this is related to the HOMEDRIVE variable, but I am not
positive. Unfortunately I can not get it to change to even test it.
Thanks,
Dan

There are a few registry entries you would need to modify. BTW, do you
=3D have DELETE LOCALLY CACHED PROFILES set?
I would check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows =3D
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There is a value called
ProfilesDirectory. This would need to be =3D changed. I cannot remember
what the other reg value you would need to change, but =3D I will get =
that
for you.

Subject: [THIN] Can't change HOMEDRIVE variable
Hello,
I am having some problems and I am hoping that someone here may be able
=3D to help. On my servers I have a C and D drive. I want to install =
all
of =3D my applications on to C and have my profiles on D. I edited the
ProfilesDirectory registry key so that it would point to d:\documents =
=3D
and settings. I copied the Default User and All Users profiles there
and =3D setup all of the necessary ACL's. The new profiles work fine. =
If
I login, =3D new users get created on the D drive. =3D20
I made this change right after I built the server. Now I am beginning =
=3D
to install applications and I am having a problem. On one particular
application, it has a ini file that is located in c:\winnt. Installing
=3D the application in Install mode gives me the behavior I need, but =
not
as expected. When I run the application it fails, because it can't find
=3D the ini file. If I run FileMon from sysinternals I see what the
problem is. The application is trying to make a change to the file and
the OS is redirecting to c:\documents and
settings\username\windows\file.ini
NOT D:\documents and settings\username\windows\file.ini. Since I have
changed the profile location, the call is failing.
I think that the problem is that the HOMEDRIVE variable is still set to
=3D C:. Unfortunately I am not having any luck changing it to D:. I =
tried
=3D modifying usrlogn.cmd without any luck. I also add HOMEDRIVE as a
system variable =3D and that did not work. Can anyone help? Am I =
correct
that the reason the =3D OS is telling the app to look in c:\documents =
and
set... is because of the HOMEDRIVE variable?
TIA,
Dan
