Re: Terminal Startup enviroment

I have control over all teh domain but for sure inn each
domain they have there admins..
i discovered that a specific domain have this problem when
teh user logging to this domain the startup environment of
the terminal is not working for them

the problem that i don't know what's in a policy or
configuration prevent applying the environment entries
from being applyied.

according to my knowldge there are no in entry in windows
2000 group policy that can effect this entry in the user
properties in active directory.

so if you know where is the location of saving this user
properties (startup environment) is it in registry or
active directory?
