I wanted to rebuild my terminal server. I was wondering if..... there was a
way to create a template (via Group Policy? ) that I could configure terminal
server so when users log in for the first time it will create their profile
with the predefined settings. Can someone please point me in the right
direction.

Thanks,

The way to do that is to modify the Default User profile on the
server.
When users log on for the first time, without having an existing
profile, they receive a copy of the Default User profile as a
starting profile.

Hello,

Thank you for your post and as well as to Vera for sharing the information.

Yes, as Vera mentioned, that could be the best way to automatically create
user profiles with the predefined settings.

Besides, if you want to use the Group Policy to lock down the Terminal
Server sessions with some specific settings, I would like to suggest that
you take a look at the following article:

How to lock down a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Terminal Server
session:

I hope this helps.

Thank you and have a nice day!
