Working with INI files on Terminal Servers

Note: Each database used needs its own INI file.
Note: You can have one shared ini per database or save the ini in the users Home Directory so it is not shared with other users.
Create a Home Folder:
In Terminal Server ensure you have a Home Folder mapped to a drive letter like H: for each User (This is setup in Windows).
In the Home Folder Create a PFIM folder copy IamRepo.mdb fom the PFIM installation folder to the users home Folder
Create INI Files:
Creating a new INI file to point your user to each database they need to administer.
Remember: Besides changing the PrimaryDataBase to point to your Database and PathToReports to point to your Shared reports, you will also need to set a unique PathToErrFile this should point to H:\PFIM\MyDatabaseErr.txt and unique ReportsDatabase H:\PFIM\IAMRepo.mdb.
Create a PFIM Shortcut for each ini file and add to the All Users Desktop if using Shared ini or specific users desktops if ini files are stored on home folders, you can copy it from the start Menu to your desktop, right click the Shortcut and select Properties.
On the general tab you can set the name of the Database you will be accessing.
On the Shortcut tab if the ini file is not called iam.ini or is not in the PFIM program folder you will need the following:
In the Target after “…PFIM.exe” enter the following: /INI=C:\progra~1\pfim\xxx.ini for 32Bit OS Versions and /INI=C:\progra~2\pfim\xxx.ini for 64Bit OS Versions.
xxx.ini is the ini for the particular database this shortcut is for.
