Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop


Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

Hi Glen,

 

Are you by any chance using mandatory user profiles ?

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?

Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop

 

 

OK, the one time I have seen this is with a mandatory profile, but as you

said you're not using them. Is this the case for all users? Does this also

happen for administrators too?

Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop

 

Domain Admins and the IT Group do not have problems creating shortcuts. I

have experimented and thrown a test user into the Domain Admins group, but

still no luck creating shortcuts. Go figure?? Thanks for the continued

replies.

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?

 

Cheers,

Jon

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? There is an option that would prevent users from changing

their desktop.
