I am afraid that all the Hyena TERMinology has me flipped upside down. Here is what I currently do and want Hyena to do:
To create ALL user accounts (TS and normal) I currently run a batch on my workstation which:
1) adds the new user account to the domain then creates a batch on my file server (read on)
2)I run the batch created in step 1 which
a)creates a folder which is secured and shared (to this a drive is mapped at login for the user to store private data 'THIS IS NOT A HOME DIRECTORY')
b)creates two other folders which are secured and shared to be used for the users term home and term profile folders
I then login to the file server and execute the batch to create the folders and shares. Then I login to the terminal server (gotta love the proprietary user mangler for TS) and assign the folders created in 2b to term profile and term home dirs. While in there I assign the user to any groups they need. Thats it!!!
Sounds easy huh? Actually it is not, I use NET xxx and CACLS xxx to do all of this. Because of NT rules and such I have to be physically logged onto the server where the folders are created to assifg authorities. Real Pain eh?!?
Hyenas Templates and batch functionality sounds cool but I am at a loss as to just how to apply them. I do not use home directory for the main account but do for TS. The hyena templates are confusing as they allow separate templates for TS and normal accounts but I don't see anywhere a place to create a TS home or profile directories in the template config. Also, can I get around the cacls issue of having to login to the server on which I want to assign authority to folders or is this (still) and issue?
Thanx in advance!!!
FYI: NT4.0 Domain, TS 4.0, MF 1.8 (yea I'm a dinosaur)
