Terminal Server Logins

Marty Jones
$organization

For those of you that use Terminal server, Have you found a way to use only one Tessitura ini file?

Currently, We create a file for each Terminal user with the host name set to their username and drop it into their app folder. We are moving to Terminal Server 2008 and would like to get it down to just one file.

Thanks,

Marty

    Marty,

    You can use system Variables in your INI file.  For example try
    hostname=%USERNAME%

    Interesting.  Marty, we have the same setup.  Rich, what happens to user preferences in that case? (e.g. default ticket printer, frame height & width, etc.) Would you then only need one copy of the PBVM folder?

    Our Tessitura icon captures the username using the variable to point to a folder under each users profile.

    "C:\Program Files\Impresario Test Client\tessitura.exe" c:\documents and settings\%username%\application data\tessitura\tessitura_test.ini"

     

    Each user has their own Tessitura.ini and Tessitura_Test.ini file in their application folder where the hostname is hard coded with their username. These ini files then point to the System32 master ini file.

     

    Do each of your users have their own ini files? If not, how is yours setup? Are your users able to store their preferences such as default printer?

     

    Thanks,

    Marty

    If you want your users to keep all of their preferences than you would need separate ini files for each user.  If you only care about default printers and you can get that down to different printers for different groups than you could create as many INI files as there are printer possibilities and create the shortcut to point to them by group policy.  Hope that helps.

    Sounds like we will need to keep doing it the way we are. I was hoping that I could find a easier way.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Marty
    We automate creating the individual ini file when the person opens Tess for the first time.
    We use a vbscript to start Tess instead of the bat file, and that has a section that checks if an ini aready exists for the user, and if not then it grabs a generic ini, modifies it for that person, and plonks it into their local app data folder. That works fine, and there's no manual setup work to do. That was the best we could come up with.

    Hi Marty

     

    It is possible to have one ini file but you will not able to store each users preferences.  When you update your preferences these are stored in the ini file.

     

    Thanks

    Hi guys

     I've put the vbscript in my files area

    http://www.tessituranetwork.com/COMMUNITY/members/kenmcswain5454/files/default.aspx

    It's called tessitura_start.txt, because tessweb wouldn't let me post a .vbs file (very sensible of it)
