I think this was in the AstraZeneca case study presentation. It's
available to download from iforumedinburgh.com now if you were at Iforum,
but I think the gist of it was:
On each server have a %tsepath% variable defined that points to a local file
server.
In the users TS Profile path have something like %tsepath%\%username%
Then you have to override the default homedrive option.
In Windows 2000 this is in:
HKCU\Environment\HOMEDRIVE
HKCU\Environment\HOMEPATH
In Windows 2003 it in a policy setting:
TS User Home Directory.
I think I have got this right. Even looking through the presentation it's
still hazy for me and I was there!
Hope this helps.
Richard

Subject: [THIN] homedrives and logon
hi list,
a friend of a friend met some bloke at iForum in Edinburgh. This bloke
mentioned to him that logon performance into TS can be greatly improved by
doing something clever with the homedrive mapping at logon.
The details I've been given are quite hazy, but it went something along the
lines of... when a user logs in, TS uses the users homedrive to store some
temp files during logon. I suspect the temp dirs being written to are
windows/system. This chap recommended redirecting the server to a local
area
for the duration of the logon process to stop the transfer of files to
homedrives over WAN links.
Can anyone provide any further info on this practice, or indeed recognise
what
I am describing.
thanks in advance, Brian
