Server 2003

SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows Server 2003, .ini files for Terminal Services may not
synchronize as you expect.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Server 2003 does not correctly propagate
the global .ini file for the program that you want to use with Terminal
Services to the .ini file that is located in the user's profile. For
example, when you add an .ini file entry for the program that you want to
use with Terminal Services to the following registry subkey, and you set the
value of the entry to 0x00000004, the global .ini file is not propagated to
the user's .ini file:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal
Server\Compatibility\IniFiles
