dyoung5 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 HI, From what I understand, you cannot use the same profile in TS/RDC as you can on the clients. When you're Windows XP/Vista/7 clients login, they lock the profile, so when the same user tries to login to the RDC server, it cannot access the profile as its already open. You need to setup a different profile for RDC and set the path in AD under the terminal services profile tab. David
Netwacky87 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 But you can set the mandatory profile setting through Group Policy...dont you? I know you can through ADUC but i dont really want to do that for 1200 users...I kno there are tools for bulk modify bt i would prefer to use GPO Mart
Vanti Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 But you can set the mandatory profile setting through Group Policy...dont you? Hi Mart, You can indeed... A few things to check: 1. Network share security - have users who will use the profile got read access? SYSTEM with full control and the Administrators group as the owner? 2. The TS Roaming Profile Computer GPO is pointed to that network share and the "Use Mandatory Profiles On The Terminal Server" Computer GPO is Enabled. 3. You've run a gpupdate /force on the TS 4. How did you set up your mandatory profile in the network share? Did you use the CopyProfile tool and have you renamed NTUSER.DAT -> NTUSER.MAN? Cheers, Mike

Mart Just out of interest sake, how are you creating the Mandatory profiles? I see that Server 2008 R2 has the "Copy-To" option greyed out (as is it in Windows 7) So how did you create the template profile and copy it?
