Setup

[Guest]

I have setup a terminal Server on Windows 2000 Advanced Server for development. I would like to know if I can maintain different Registry for each user that connects to this machine? If yes then what do I need to do to configure that?

Is there anyway of mimicing Winnt folder for different users so that they can have their own Winnt folder and have thier own specific versions of system files residing in it?
EX: I have a ABC.INI in the Winnt folder which determines which database Server that the user wants to connect to. I want the ability to have a specific version of this INI file for each Terminal Server user.

Just turn on terminal services through your add/remove
programs. Terminal services uses different registry keys
for your users, and this is done through profiles.

Yeah, once again, just use terminal services. Terminal
services automatically maps ini files to the user's
directories.
