Modify Terminal Services Settings in Bulk
Adaxes gives you the ability to configure the Terminal Services settings for multiple users in one operation. In Active Directory, Terminal Services settings are configured via the User Parameters property of user objects. Adaxes allows you to use value references (e.g. %username%) when editing this property. This allows you to, for example, set the Terminal Services Profile path for multiple users using a template like '\\SERVER\%department%\%username%'.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to change Terminal Services settings for multiple users using the Add/Modify Property wizard or the Properties dialog.
Launch Adaxes Administration
Console and select the users, for which you want to change Terminal Services settings.
Right-click the selection and select Add/Modify Property in the context menu.
- If all users you need are located in one OU or Business Unit, select this OU or Business Unit in the Console Tree and then select users in the Result Pane (located to the right).
- If the users are located in different OUs or in different AD domains, you can add these users to the Basket and then select them there. To add a user to the Basket, right-click this user and click Add to Basket in the context menu or just drag'n'drop this user to the Basket.
- Also, you can perform a directory search and then select the users you need in the search results.
In the Add/Modify Property wizard, select the User Parameters
property and click Next.
At the next step, click the
Edit button embedded in the Property value field. In the User Parameters
dialog, specify the desired Terminal Services settings. For example, specify a value
for the Terminal Services profile path in the TerminalServicesProfilePath
field.
Click OK and then click Finish.
Alternatively, you can use the Properties dialog to change Terminal Services settings for multiple users.
For example, to change the Terminal Services profile path for multiple users, do the following:
- Select the users you need.
- Right-click the selection and click Properties in the context menu.
- In the dialog that opens, activate the Terminal Services Profile tab.
- Select the Terminal Services User Profile check box.
- Specify a value for the Terminal Services profile path in the Profile Path field.
- Click Apply.
The %username% value reference will be replaced with the logon name of each user, so all users will get a unique profile path (e.g. \\SERVER\Profiles\johndoe).
