Chapter 3 Installing <strong>AuthorIT</strong> 39<br />

User Login Script<br />

All users opening an <strong>AuthorIT</strong> session from a Client Computer working through an<br />

Application Server should use Mapped Drives to separate their individual data from<br />

other clients using the same Application Server. Ideally, they will use a Mapped Drive<br />

for all private data.<br />

<strong>AuthorIT</strong> allows only one session per Client Computer and the Client Computer<br />

Name is used to determine this. Application Servers use the environment variable<br />

%CLIENTNAME% to distinguish between Client Computers.<br />

When a user logs in to a domain, there is the option to run a login script. This is the<br />

ideal time to ensure that:<br />

unique folders exists for the Client Computer<br />

each Client Folder is mapped to a consistent drive letter<br />

The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q195461<br />

(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=195461) deals with How to Set Up a Logon Script<br />

Only for Terminal Service Users. This has mixed results and doesnʹt work on some<br />

servers. If it doesnʹt run, try this registry fix.<br />

1) On the Terminal Services server, start the Registry Editor.<br />

2) Locate and then open the following key in the registry:<br />

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\<br />

Run<br />

3) From the Edit menu, select New > String Value.<br />

4) Type in something like WindowsTerminalServicesLogon for the value, and then<br />

click Modify on the Edit menu.<br />

5) In the Value Data box, type the path and file name for the program that you want<br />

to start when users log on.<br />

6) Select OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
