Terminal Services Fields Are Not Duplicated When Copying an Existing User

When you select and copy an existing user in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, Terminal Services fields (such as the Terminal Services profile path and home directory) are not copied to the new user account.

You can set Terminal Services user properties programmatically by using the Terminal Services Application Programming Interface (API). The WTS_CONFIG_CLASS enumeration type contains values that indicate the type of user configuration information to set or retrieve in a call to the WTSQueryUserConfig and WTSSetUserConfig functions. For additional information, see the "Using and Understanding APIs for Terminal Server" white paper available for download from the following Microsoft Web site:

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
