Thank you. I was also just reminded by a coworker that terminal server users may edit their own paths by simply creating an additional PATH variable for themselves. This would be created in the Environment Variables pane, &quot;User variable for...&quot; subsection. I saw that.<br />
<br />
At the time, I was thinking in terms of editing existing variables, not creating a new one. All good to know.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help.

I have two questions concerning modifying the PATH variable on a Windows 2003 terminal server.<br />
<br />
1. How can I edit PATH on a per-user (and persistent) rather than global basis?<br />
2. Can a global or per-user PATH be safely modified with terminal server users actively working, or must changes be performed only after booting everyone off and, potentially, setting install mode? (Not certain install mode applies here.)<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Editing PATH environment variable on Windows 2003 Terminal Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
