Terminal Services Profile Tab in AD

[Jeff Singer]

I am working on a project that will entail changing the
location of every user's terminal services profile. We
things setup so that it uses the path that we place in
the Terminal Services Profile Tab.

My question is, where does in the LDAP Database is that
information stored, it is not a searchable field in
Active Directory users and computers and I can't find it
anywhere when I try to browse the LDAP db. Once I find
that information I can update everyone via an ldap query.

Any suggestions?

To answer my own question, this tab is not part of the
LDAP database. For "security reasons" this is stored in
a blog file (binary log file) and you cannot do any sort
of mass change on the attributes in this tab.

I hope no one else ever has to do this.

Actually this field is accessible through APIs (WTSQueryUserInformation and
friends). In Windows 2003 an automation interface for those APIs has been
added (the exact name of the DLL implementing these escapes me). I believe
that it is possible to use this same DLL on Windows 2000 and XP.

Good luck.
