[python-win32] Active Directory Terminal Services Properties

[Daniel Scoggins]

With a little bit of digging and scouring the MSDN site, I finally got this
to work.

<code>
        import active_directory
        import win32com
        aduser = active_directory.find_user(userid)
        adsi=win32com.client.Dispatch("ADsNameSpaces")
        ldap = adsi.getobject("","%s"%aduser)
        ldap.TerminalServicesHomeDrive = tsHomeDrive
        ldap.TerminalServicesHomeDirectory =
"%s\\%s"%(tsHomeDirectory,aduser.samaccountname)
        ldap.SetInfo()
</code>

Thanks,
Daniel Scoggins
