I have no clue about this one......

Its a newly installed server (W2K3 Std.) with Terminal Server in
Application mode. It is in Full Security mode as well. When a regular
user uses Remote Desktop Connector to start a TS session, all works
fine except there is no Start button anywhere. The taskbar was a little

low, so that was pulled up. All that shows on the taskbar is: quick
launch shortcut area and task tray icons.


I have tried moving the taskbar around the screen, but no go. Still
broke. Here's another funny bit.. When I press the Window key on the
keyboard, the start menu drops down from the upper left of the screen.
The taskbar is at the bottom when this happens.


All is fine when an admin logs in.


If anyone has any ideas or knows of a fix, please please Please let me
know.


Thanks in advance.....

Weird!
I expect it to be a profile problem.
Does this happen with a newly created test account?
Does the problem disappear when you delete the users profile?
Does the user have a separate TS-profile?

A newly created account has the same results.. Local or domain account.
I have deleted the profile folder in the past and nothing changed. I'm
not too sure what you mean by seperate TS-profiles. The profile is
created when they logon as normal.

One thing I noticed, which may be normal, when logged on with a test
account I cannot access the C drive. It states "Access is Denied". The
account is able to open the My documents folder and create files within
that. That may be normal under Full security mode.

That is only normal if a Group Policy is applied that restricts that
behavior. Run RSOP and see what policies are applying to users logging onto
that terminal server. It aslo could be the Default User Profile that's bad.

Should that (RSOP) be done from the console or from a TS session?
