I have a question regarding how TS works in tagging files to be user specific. I know that to install an application on a TS I need to put the server in install mode by initiating the install from the Control Panel, or by putting the server in install mode from a command prompt. I have done that correctly and the applications works well
My problem is that the application makes use of a file (named HPAPP.DAT) that resides in the WINNT directory, however this file is not created during the installation program. I have tried to create the HPAPP.DAT file manually in the WINNT directory before exiting from install mode hoping that somehow TS would pick up on it and replicate it to the user's home directories, but it did not work
Is there a way of telling TS that this file needs to be copied to the user's home directories? Even if there was would it work? In other words is reading the file from the user's home directory rather than from the WINNT directory up to how the program is written, or is it a redirection that happend automatically if the file is tagged as being user specific
My last questions regards the reason why the file was not detected when I created it in the WINNT directory while in install mode. Did this happen because the extension was not INI? Would it work if the file I created was HPAPP.INI ( I believe I can rename the file and have the program still work, because access to the file is determined by a system variable that is set to "C:\WINNT\HPAPP.DAT". On my server I renamed the file HPAPP.INI and changed the system variable accordigly and everything worked
Any help will be apprecaited
