Thanks Alan, If you would forward that script. Were new with this and
the learning curve has been a long one. We only have a test group using
this system right now. I would like to get all the got you out of the
way before we go live.
Thanks agin

Bob,
Not sure if this answers your question but you are right about user
info
being stored in HKLM (note that I'm going back to NT4 TSE, GSNW - no
Novell client). The key is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NWCWorkstation\Para
meters\Option\<usersid>
And there are two values under here that store tree and context
information. I have written a KiX script that updates each server
remotely (provided from a text file) with the correct tree and
context.
This was run everytime a new account was created. It was noticable
that
on the rare occasions that I installed the Novell client (in a test
environment) this key was blown away. Now using Novell client and
contextless login and the need for this has gone away.
Can forward KiX script and wrapper if it's of any use.
Regards,
Alan.

Subject: [THIN] Small farm 8 servers, Long question Registry not
updating Why?
Sorry for the length of the question. Here is what's going on. We've
spent a lot of time on this and are nothing seems to work.
HKEY_USERS\USERIDNUMBER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explor
er\Shell
Folders
Personal is the registry key that is not being filled in
When a user logs onto a server (say CTX01) for the first time they
have
to fill out the context and tree info from the GSNW. That information
is than stored and everytime that user logs onto CTX01, a roaming
profile is created and they have access to their info (in
particular..their documents). They double click on My Documents and
their docuemnts folder opens right up.
If that same user then logs onto another server (say CTX02) they are
either prompted for the GSNW information again, or just logged
directly
onto the server. They still have access to IE, Groupwise (which is
running over IP), Word, etc., but when they try and open up their
documents, they are prompted for a username and password for the root
directory that houses the user folders. Noone has access to all the
user folders except admins so a users credentials will not work. If
they fill in the GSNW info correctly than it will work but it is not
reasonable to have users fill out this info 8x til they have hit all
the
servers in the farm.
I have noticed that the registry setting above is not being filled out
on servers that the user has not logged into. On the server that the
GSNW info was set, this info was correct... set to
\\Cuymet1\Data\Users\username.
Now that this is all written out, it would seem that the GSNW
information is being stored on the server's registry instead of being
moved over to the tsprofiles folder for other server's to access. If
we
can figure out a way to solve this, I believe that the farm will be
ready to be tested by a number of addtional users.
Thanks,
