How about scripting the default printer? In VBScript, you'd do something
like this:
' ---- BEGIN CODE -----
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
If objNetwork.UserName = "jdurbin" then
strPrinterPath = "\\server\printer"
blnSetPrinter = True
End If
if blnSetPrinter then
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterPath
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterPath
end if
Set objNetwork = nothing
' ---- END CODE -----
You can do the same thing with computer names and groups.
I doubt this code will post properly to the list (remove all the =3D and
=20 that get added). I can email it to you if it does get garbled and you're
interested.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
