"Setting a profile path and home directory for terminal sessions.
Migrating profile paths from WTS to Terminal Services used to be painful because the Terminal Services profile path—distinct from the user profile path—wasn't exposed as a property of the user account object in ADSI; therefore, you could configure the profile path only by editing the user account properties either through the GUI or from the Tsprof command-line tool. This information is now available to group policies. The policies controlling user profiles and home directories are in the root Terminal Services folder in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components. Enable Set Path for TS Roaming Profiles and TS User Home Directory. To configure the profile path, include the computer name and path to the profile directory; the server will fill in the username automatically. If the path you provide doesn't exist (or the server can't reach it), the account will use local profiles.


The same process applies to setting up the home directory—enable the policy, type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name for the network share, and assign a local drive letter, if necessary (for applications that demand a drive letter). I don't generally recommend putting the user home directory on the local terminal server unless you have no other options; doing so gives users separate home directories depending on which server they're connected to, complicating backups and making locating user files difficult"

Search thethin.net thin list archives on TSPROF and there are probably some in there.

Just wondering if anyone has a script that they would be willing to share. I need to change the ts profile path for a whole mess of users and add them to a new windows group.

I am not a scripting guy but using a script would make this job a whole lot easier.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
