HELP!

I've been pulling my hair out all afternoon, with what I think is a very
easy task.

I am building a new 2003 sp1 terminal server. The one I built the other week
is working fine, but the new one isnt.

on the old one, when I check System Properties > Remote > Remote Desktop
it's set to 'Allow users to connect remotely to your computer' is ticked.

on the new one, it's completely different 'Enable Remote Desktop on this
computer' is ticked.

I have been through gpedit.msc and granted logon through terminal services
rights and also done the same on the RDP connector.

I can login on the new one, but the desktop has icons which are found on the
admins desktop. It's like the users aernt getting their own seperate
settings.

any ideas before I tip my coffee onto it?

Many thanks,
Glen.

Seems to me that Terminal Services (implying Application Server
mode - for multiple user access) is installed on the first server,
but not on the second one.

In 2003, termimal services for remote admin is installed by default. I have
already gone through the configure your server wizard and installed the full
blown termimal services and also checked its installed in add/remove
programs, which it is.

Looks like it's found the licence server as well as I checked in teriminal
services configuration.

any ideas?

The plot thickens

I've just had six test users login, which I guess means it's running in
application mode.

It's really weird, because if I create a shortcut on the consoles desktop
(logged in as a domain admin) then logout the test users and back in
again....they get the shortcut I created????

all six users have seperate my docs, and outlook/exchange settings so that
means their profile is working.

I havent a clue whats going on now.

Thanks for any help u can provide
Glen.

Are these users Administrators?
Are you sure that the shortcut is put on the Administrators
desktop, and not on the All Users desktop?

Are you using a GPO with folder redirection?

It's not on the desktop, it's part of the start menu > programs.

I found a registry key to remove the outlook express. Works on my 2000
server but not 2003.

Technet is no help :-(
