Server 2008 Mandatory Profiles

[mrstephenw]

Hi All,

 

We currently have a server (server 2003) acting as our domain controller (AD) and have added a few Server 2008 terminal servers. I'd like to setup mandatory profiles for the thin clients accessing the TSs, but I've noticed that the process of setting up mandatory profiles for server 2008 is different to 2003.

 

There are a few good guides on the web about setting up mandatory profiles in 2003 but can't find anything about setting up mandatory profiles using server 2008. Does anybody know of any good guides (step by step would be great!)

 

Thankz a million,

 

Stevo

I'm also looking for a good way to set this up using Server 2008 R2

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but it looks like you have to add .v2 to the folder that has the manditory profile in it to indicate it is a windows 2008 server.

You can read more here on this blog.
