yes, those actions can affect the users.<br />
<br />
I would recommend only doing those actions while there are no users logged into the server, except for the admin.

First, let me say, thank you so much for such a fast response Carl!<br />
<br />
What about mapped network drives? Do I need to .kix script those, or if I simply map the network drive, will it show up for all users once they log off, then log back on again?
</div>


<div>
Don't forget that you must install programs in 'install mode' in terminal services
</div>


<div>
I no longer use logon scripts to map drives. &nbsp;I use Group Policy Preferences.
</div>


<div>
We have 2 terminal servers, so I'm guessing I have to do this on each separately?
</div>


<div>
Your terminal servers should be in their own OU and have a Group Policy applied to that OU. &nbsp;Add the Preferences to map a drive to the existing Group Polic assigned to the OU the servers are in.<br />
<br />
If your terminal servers are not in their own OU segregated from other servers, then you are doing things the very hard (and I would say, wrong) way.
</div>


<div>
Agreed Carl. &nbsp;This was not setup correctly to begin with, and I'm still pretty new at this, so I'm inheriting problems :(<br />
I need to get these users up and running quickly...I'm just trying to figure out the best solution.

Turns out the .kix file on the main AD server looks after the TS logins

If I make any program changes (uninstall, install, windows updates, install flash, etc.), do these impact all terminal users?

While logged into the Terminal Server as the main administrator...

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).
