Blocking Home Directories from Mapping

[NancyD]

If a user has a home directory specified in the profile
of their account, is there a way to block it from mapping
during special circumstances? For example, I want them
to get their home directories when logging into their
desktops, but don't want them to get a home directory
when logging into Terminal Servers. Removing the info is
not an option since it only applies to special
circumstances. I'm thinking a GPO, local policy,
etc....Any suggestions? Much appreciated!

If you specify a Terminal Services Home Directory on the account (Terminal
Services Profile), it will get mapped when logging on via TS instead of
their normal home drive. If you specify a bogus entry (e.g. \\this is a
fake tshomedir) then no drive will get mapped and TS will use the local
profile.

Thanks Wayne....that is one good suggestion to consider.

Is there a way to do it via some type of policy so I
don't have to touch 1000's of accounts?
