Introduction
These setup instructions are designed for someone that has a good understanding of group policy and has configured a form or profile management previously. The scripts included in this release are DOS based scripts and I would be advantageous for someone that is deploying this to understand these scripts before deploying them.
The below scripts are designed to modify the default profile stored on a terminal server and hard code folder redirection into the default profile a user receives. This speeds up the logon process significantly, the profile management is fired off using a Windows Stub path during a windows logon. At logoff a script is called to capture all relevant information that is stored within a .ini file. C:\Users\jedth\Desktop\TPMM
