We have recently moved to v11 and have to use a different Tessitura shortcut on our 2008 terminal servers that specfies a seperate ini file for each user, with a hostname value we have to enter and place in their profile manually. This produces alot more work for or department and can't imagine this is the correct model for our terminal servers being that we did not have to do this for v10. I would like to know how to properly use Tessitura on our terminal servers so the users can use the same ini or how the seperate ini creation process is automatic. I tried usng the %username% value for hostname and saving it in the default profile to automatically create it for new users but that variable is not working properly. Any help is apprecated. Thanks
Current Terminal Server shortcut value: "C:\Program Files\tessitura\TessituraClient\Tessitura.exe" %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS\Tessitura.ini
This is different that the shortcut used on our desktops.
That usually means you have to go into TX_MACHINE_LOCATION and add a location to the entry for that machine name. There are some pretty cool automated scripts that help with this. Some are posted here on this forum.
Question: Is this a new ‘thing’ with Windows 2008 Server. Our terminal server is still Win 2003 and we share the ini file. This is not supported in 2008?
Thanks,
…Dave

Still does not work. It throughs an error : "This PC (%usernme%) does not have a location assigned."
Maybe our ini does not have the right coding:
[sqlca]
Hostname=%username%
MasterIniFilePath="\\TESS\Tessitura\StartUp\tessitura_master.ini"
[Security Frame] State=Normal Width=4576 Height=2912 X=1413 Y=164 [Frame] State=Maximized Width=3904 Height=3028 X=-4672 Y=448 Scaling=100 [Reports Frame] Width=2258 Height=2392 X=1371 Y=108 [TicketPrinter] Default=

Depending on the version of windows you use will determine where %USERPROFILE% will take you. On windows 2008 it will take you to "C:\Users\<your usersname>" and on windows 2003 it will take you to "C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>"
So unless you have a windows folder in your user profile it won't work. We tend to put the Tessitura.ini files at the root of the user profile. So using my profile as an example mine would be "C:\Documents and Settings\nick.insell\tessitura.ini" or %USERPROFILE%\tessitura.ini.
Does that make sense?
