I have a 2008 Server running Terminal Services, all has been working since Monday. THe only error i'm getting in Event viewer is the following..<br />
<br />
The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because a composited theme is not in use.<br />
<br />
I've researched the error and it states that its the enabling of Aero, I disabled it. The users still not able to login. Does Aero enable itself with every user that logs into the TS server? If so how can I disable it in Local Group Policy, I wasnt successful in finding anything on the web.<br />
