Greetings,<br />
I would like to hide the icons on the desktop of a Win2003 server during an RDP session initiated by a domain user who is in a local group.<br />
<br />
Detail: &nbsp;I have a Windows 2003 Server running an application that's reporting service has to be run from the server desktop. I have created a local security group called REPORTING and place into it the few domain users that need the feature. On the user's desktop I have created a Remote Desktop Connection that connects to the server and lauches the Reporting program. <br />
<br />
Prefered Result: The drawback to the above senario is that if the user closes the Reporting program, they can then access the other items on the desktop. All they really need is the ability to log off. &nbsp;I am looking for a way to solve this. It would be great if they could RDP to the desktop, auto-launch reporting, and logout when thay are finished. <br />
<br />
Note: TS has to be installed Administratively on this server.<br />
<br />
Thanks

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
