RDP won't start program on server - File name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect
I have an MS Server 2008 R2, SP2 server that gives me the following message when I set the Terminal Services to start a program upon connection: The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. This working directory is invalid: "C:\Program files."
I had the same program on an MS Server 2003 working before that server crashed. I built this server and installed the relevant program. I have also tried running a simple batch file and receive the same error. I get the same error whether I put the program in C:\Program files or C:\Program files(x86). If I disable the automatic start of the program(s), I can remote to the machine and manually start them with no problem. I have shared the drive, which seemed unnecessary but I did it anyway. I have experimented with permissions on the programs. I have set the option to start a program upon connection in GPE, Terminal Services Configuration and Remote Desktop. I know the directories/program paths are valid. I copy/paste them into "Run" and the programs run with no errors. I set up a security group and put them in Remote Desktop Users. I have logged on as a domain admin and as a domain user - with the same error occurring. I have Client Access licenses installed. The vendor of the main program worked with me on this for over 2 hours to no avail, both on their program and the simple batch files.
Thank you for your help.
