Hi Evan,
The %temp% variable points to a unique directory for every user on a
terminal server, regardless.
You've got 3 workable options without redirecting the temp location to
a network drive.
1. On a standard server (win2k or later) with default settings a
user's %temp% maps to %userprofile%\local settings\temp\%sessionid%.
eg c:\documents and settings\testuser\local settings\temp\8 if user's
session id is 8.
2. If the user %temp% variable is changed to something like C:\temp
the user's %temp% will map to c:\temp\%sessionid%. eg c:\temp\8 if
user's session id is 8.
If you run up terminal server connection configuration (start > run >
tscc.msc) and set Server Settings > "Use temporary folders per
session" to NO then %temp% maps to %userprofile%\local settings\temp.
In each case the temp directory is still unique for each user logged
on to the server.
regards,
Rick
