Folks, I am trying to script the terminal services fields in AD. I know these are not real fields but it appears from the web that if I have the "TsUserEx.Dlll" file I should be able to treat them like attributes. And when it comes to reading the values I can. I can read fields like "TerminalServicesHomeDirectory" and display them. What I don't seem to be able to do is to set values into these fields. I get the 8007200a error. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

You can't treat the TS parameters as attributes, thinking/verbiage like that may be what is causing you issue because they have to be handled in a very specific way.

Like people have been saying, it isn't an actual AD attribute. It is only a property on IADsTsUserEx. Thus, you can't access it with Get, GetEx, Put or PutEx as those operate on actual attributes. Try setting it to a null string or nothing to see if that clears it. BTW, this particular interface/design choice by the TS team is supremely annoying to me. Not only does it cause this type of confusion, but it is also undocumented and basically impossible to deal with if you aren't using ADSI. Boo!

Dave, I have just checked your snippet and it does work. The only issue I see with it is when profilePath, scriptPath or homeDirectory are not set for a user account - the script will bomb out with -2147463155 ("The directory property cannot be found in the cache"). Try the following: On Error Resume Next strAttrInfo = "Profile<" & objuserobj.get("ProfilePath") & ">" & VBcrlf if Err.Number = 0 Then strUserInfo = strAttrInfo Err.Clear strAttrInfo = "Script<" & objuserobj.get("ScriptPath") & ">" if Err.Number = 0 Then strUserInfo = strUserInfo & strAttrInfo & vbcrlf Err.Clear strAttrInfo = "HomeDir<" & objuserobj.get("HomeDirectory") & ">" if Err.Number = 0 Then strUserInfo = strUserInfo & strAttrInfo & vbcrlf Err.Clear strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "TSProfile<" & objuserobj.TerminalServicesProfilePath & ">" & vbcrlf strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "TSHome<" & objuserobj.TerminalServicesHomeDirectory & ">" & vbcrlf wscript.echo strUserInfo Guy From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Dave Wade Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 18:15 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Scripting Terminal Not sure if I have passed enough but basically I am saving the values:- strUserInfo = "Profile<" & objuserobj.get("ProfilePath") & ">" & VBcrlf strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "Script<" & objuserobj.get("ScriptPath") & ">" & vbcrlf strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "HomeDir<" & objuserobj.get("HomeDirectory") & ">" & vbcrlf strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "TSProfile<" & objuserobj.TerminalServicesProfilePath & ">" & vbcrlf strUserInfo = strUserInfo & "TSHome<" & objuserobj.TerminalServicesHomeDirectory & ">" & vbcrlf which works fine. Its then when I start to try and clear the fields I get an error. The code at present is objuserobj.putex 1 , "ProfilePath" , "" objuserobj.putex 1 , "ScriptPath" , "" objuserobj.putex 1 , "HomeDirectory" , "" objuserobj.setinfo Which works , but if I try the same with a TS field it fails. I tried both constructs as bellow.. objuserobj.putex 1 , "TerminalServicesHomeDirectory" , "" objUserobj.TerminalServicesHomeDrive = "" with no luck. Should I use a different userobject for normal and ts....

I know these are not real fields but it appears from the web that if I have the "TsUserEx.Dlll" file I should be able to treat them like attributes. And when it comes to reading the values I can. I can read fields like "TerminalServicesHomeDirectory" and display them. What I don't seem to be able to do is to set values into these fields. I get the 8007200a error. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
