Guest Glen Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I have been trying to figure this one out for months. I have read an article or two indicating that updating your terminal service to SP2 resets all permissions and file security settings to the default settings. Nonetheless I have given domain users, everyone, remote desktop users all local admin rights on the terminal server as well as full control of the c: drive. I am only able to create shortcuts in users' 'My Document' folder, which users also have full control over, although their 'My Documents' folder location points to their home directory on a different server. Anyway, I have my terminal server users full control on the terminal server but they are still unable to create a shortcut on their desktop. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Glen

Guest Jon Wallace Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop hmmm, ok. Is it only shortcuts you're having problems with, or creating any item. Can you create a simple text file on the desktop?

Guest Glen Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop Domain Admins and the IT Group do not have problems creating shortcuts.

Guest Jon Wallace Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop If you have made a user a domain admin then you can pretty much rule-out permission issues (with rare exceptions). Are you absoultley sure your user doesn't have a mandatory profile, or some software that makes it appear to be a mandatory profile? Log onto the machine as the user, right-click on my computer, go into advanced -> user profiles and look at the type. If it's really not mandatory, then are you doing any form or folder redirection of the desktop, and is the redirection going to a valid location?

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop Have you checked your GPO's to be certain you haven't enabled a locked down desktop?
