set user variables in terminal session

[grobbu]

Hello all,

i've got a standard server 2008 with a terminal server in hyperv. Everything works fine.

The Problem:
We are using (a terrible) software solution. this software requires that every machien has his own 'machine' variable with an unique nr.
In current situation there's a system variable on every machine with an unique value. This doesn't work in terminal because all users would have the same machine nr..
No problem i thougt..just use user variable..and now the problem. When I log in as a normal user an I wanna change the user variables I have to give admin user/pass to change. After doing this and creating a user variable i saw it was created for the user 'admin'...

I could give all my users admin rights but that solution I don't like
Anyone a solution for this problem?
Hope I explained it clear.

tx in advance!

You could create a logon script to change or set the variable. The first link shows how to create variables using VBScript. The second link provides information about the set command which can be scripted to set environment variables.

Hello sry for the late respons. The scriptin didn't work for me because the users need admin rights...

The 'solution' i finally had to use was to make each user administrator. Then make a user variable and make them normal users again.
Not a nice solution but it worked.
