TS Profiles are saved in a folder just like ordinary profiles. Each user has a path to the profile, just like ordinary profiles. So you should be able to target groups of users to the same TS Profile folder. If TS supports mandatory profile I can't see how setting it for one user would affect another user. -- Dave Mills There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.
From: Matthew on 25 Mar 2010 11:25 Well, I tried to setup a manditory profile through GP. It's possible I have no idea what I'm doing. :P Anywho. When I setup the ts manditory profile I deny it to the admin group, but it applies anyway. I assume that it's because it's part of the computer policy and that way doesnt work for profiles like I'm wanting.

A GPO can make changes to a users settings (which are part of their profile) and even change the location of parts of the profile (folder redirection) or prevent the profiles being saved on the local PC. But the Profile is not the policy. -- Dave Mills There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Sorry. I'm not explaining myself very well. I've created a mandatory profile for my terminal server users and copied it to a share on the network. Now I go into the GP Editor and under the terminal server settings I set the path to the mandatory profile and also set the terminal server to use the mandatory profile. Of course this is a computer setting and not a user setting so it applies the mandatory to all users including the administrators which I don't want to use the mandatory profiles. What I was hoping to accomplish is being able to apply different mandatory profiles to user groups through group policy, but I have yet to figure it out without manually entering the path for each user. At any rate I think what I want to accomplish isn't really possible the way I hoped to accomplish it. |
