Hi all!<br />
<br />
I am configuring Terminal Server on 2012 R2 user environment. I will replicate it for all new users, and could use a few pointers on how to get rid of the 2012 R2 junk in place of start menu.<br />
<br />
Is there maybe some kind of GPO that could do that, or something similar to it?<br />
<br />
The other option (I am leaning to), is to simply install and configure stable version of Classic Shell, and go with it.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Which Start Menu for Terminal Server 2012?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
