User Access

Hello, I recently set up a windows 2008 r2 server to replace an older 2003 server with older software. when I login to the server with admin everything works, but when i log in with user accounts under our Active directory they are configured to boot a program on startup. I was getting a message saying unable to find program and then it would log you out of the server. So i figured it was an issue with booting on start so i disabled this is remote desktop session host config. Now when they boot to desktop i cannot see the drive the program is installed on. So i figure this is my problem, those accounts must lack access to the drive/applications. My question is how to set the permissions for these accounts to be able to access the drive/application i need to boot on start up. WE have an active directory server, do i need to install anything on this new server for AD ? Do i make changes in AD ? on the server itself ?

Have you checked what Group Policies have been applied to this server? Does this happen when you are logging in with any other accounts?

Run RSOP.msc on the machine and see what computer/user policies are being applied.

Authenticated Users and System have full control of the drive. Yes it happens on all accounts besides the admin account. All the policies look like they are the default of the domain.

Does this happen to only 1 desktop? or is this the same affect for all machines?

If this is just 2 one machine have you tried "last known good configuration"?

same effect on all machines, it seems like its an access setting or permission.  I tried allowing full permissions to the user account specifically for the drive and i get an error message that says an error occured while applying secuirty information to :        C:\pagefile.sys The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. and behinde that i get windows security pop up box setting security information on: C:\Programimtryingtorun.msp
