Acrobat 6.0 and Terminal Services

[Chambers]

Ok, here's a REAL strange question. Firstly, I just want everyone to know that I have a general understanding of GPO's and setting them up. Here's my situation;

I have set up all domain profiles as;

connect U: to \\servername\%username%$

Now I have set up a GPO that will redirect users "My Documents" to the same location
\\servername\%username%$


My problem comes when I am trying to print PDF's through terminal services.

Let's say I would like to print a pdf to my documents. It defaults to the U drive when I need it to default to the UNC \\servername\%username%$ otherwise Adobe (Logged into the local console as Administrator) is trying to make a pdf from the U drive and not the fully qualified UNC directory...so it doesn't see the temp file and then just hangs and I get an error.

Does anyone know where in registry I need windows to default always to the UNC directory of the user and not the U drive??? This is a MAJOR issue for me and need some quick assistance, thank you!!

I'd like to help, but speaking just for myself, I didn't understand your post. What is a "GPO"?

I wasn't even sure if you were describing an Acrobat problem or an OS/networking problem.

GPO is a group policy object

This question pertains to Acrobat and how it functions in a terminal server environment with Group Policy set up

I guess a network guy with a good understanding of Acrobat would be the perfect candidate to help

Using regedt32 (not regedit) you can load the .default reg hive and edit the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\

String Value: Port
Current Value: My Documents\*.pdf
New Value: \\servername\%DomainUser%
