Re: Cannot create shortcut on terminal service session desktop
If you have made a user a domain admin then you can pretty much rule-out
permission issues (with rare exceptions).
Are you absoultley sure your user doesn't have a mandatory profile, or some
software that makes it appear to be a mandatory profile? Log onto the
machine as the user, right-click on my computer, go into advanced -> user
profiles and look at the type.
If it's really not mandatory, then are you doing any form or folder
redirection of the desktop, and is the redirection going to a valid
location?
Cheers,
Jon
