Home directories 1

[fluteplr]

Hi, this is probably a really stupid question, but I am a database programmer not a Citrix admin and our Citrix admin is not very cooperative.

Is there a way to map a directory for each user so that it looks like the same mapping to each user like z:\home for example, but is in real life a different directory for every user?

I need a place to put some files that will always look to Word as if it is the same spot, but will allow multiple users to do this at the same time without overwriting each others files.

There are a couple a option to check out.

First, you have the "Application Compatibility Scripts". They are specificly written to support applictaions not 100% suitable for a Terminal Envirioment, like Word. Run this script for Office 97 or 2000 and it will ask you to assign a "ROOT" drive for the user e.g. Z:. The TS makes a new directory (e.g. c:\users\%username%) each time a new user logs on. You can use the "ROOT" drive to assign Word it's user enviroment. Example of the CHKRoot.cmd in the c:\wtsrv\Application Compatibility Scripts directory

Echo REM > RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM Before running this application compatibility script, you must >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM designate a Drive Letter for Terminal Server to use for a Home directory drive.>> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM Make Sure this drive letter is not being used by anything else on the system >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM Update the "Set RootDrive" statement at the end of >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM this file to indicate the desired drive letter. If you have >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM no preference, the drive W: is suggested. For example: >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM Set RootDrive=W: >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM Note: Make sure there are no spaces after the drive letter and colon. >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM When you have completed this task, save this file and exit >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM NotePad to continue running the application compatibility script. >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo REM >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo. >> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo Set RootDrive=>> RootDrv2.Cmd
Echo. >> RootDrv2.Cmd

NotePad RootDrv2.Cmd

Option 2:
-------------
Just make a login script to connect a "user"-drive e.g. Z: to a directory or share on the network.
place this script in de c:\wtsrv\system32\Repl\script\Import directory and assign in de usermanager for domains this script to each user.

Try to experiment with connecting to share and make a substitude wiyhin this share. This is a powerfull tool to limit te shared folders on your servers

Thanks. It sound like one of those two methods should work.
