VBScript for updating Terminal Server settings in AD

Hello,

I need to update about 5000 user id's in a Windows 2000
Active Directory with Terminal Server settings.
These settings are:
Terminal Server Profile Path
Terminal Server Home Directory
Terminal Server Home Drive
Allow logon to terminal server
Create the Home Directory and set the appropriate
permissions. I have found several references to this on
the script site but nothing complete. We would like to be
able to feed the script a list of names to complete. I am
very new to scripting so if you have a document or a
sample script I could look at that would be very helpful.

Thanks Randy Becker

Hi

If you don't have a Win2k3 server, MS does not have any built in to set the TS
properties from a script.

Two freeware dll's are available that enables you to do this from vbscript,
Wts_admin.dll and WTSCOM.dll (you need to register them on the computer running

the script with regsvr32.exe)::

On Win2k/XP or NT you must use the WTS APIs.

On win2k3 you have an user object extension that exposes the WTS APIs to
the script world.
