Terminal Server 2008 Lock Down
This is driving me mad!!!
Have a 2003 Domain Controller and a 2008 Terminal Server. I have followed the procedure for locking down the 2003 Server supplied by Microosft but with 2008 it still retains Administrative Tools, and Computer and a couple of others on the right hand side. Also there is no longer an All Users folder - I want an icon to show for all users. I have put a shortcut in the c:\users\Public\Public Desktop but when I log in it does not show up.
I have removed everything out of c:\programdata\Microsoft\w
I also want a program to run for all users in a certain OU that the group policy is applied to (the same one that has a shortcut on the desktop for) - I have tried accomplishing this with a login script but it does not work.
Does anybody have any ideas about this infuriating problem?
Thanks

You can use group policy to remove those items for all users.
That icon you can put in the default users folder if you're not having any luck with Public. Also remember that if you are hiding desktop icons, this would not show up for them.

I can't see a setting in group policy to remove these - as I said I have gone through the Microsoft Lock Down procedure for 2003. It is a 2003 DC so 2003 Group Policy Management but a 2008 Terminal Server.
I will take a look for the default users folder

I finally got this working after much trial and error. You can find that All Users is there but is a hidden folder under documents and settings. If I was asked to reproduce exactly what I did I would struggle but it works well for the customer.
