RE: logon error: error occured while an inital user program was st

I tried setting explorer.exe but I just get an error fails to run and exits,
sorry can't remember the error off hand.

I've tried different clients, blocking GPO inheritance etc. Is there
anything in AD, apart from GPOs that could cause this type of behaviour?

Thanks

Yeah the actions that you describe with the first question is what should
happen. I wonder what would happen if you said to run explorer.exe... maybe
something to try although I really don't know what will happen. Sometimes,
and I don't completley understand why, compaines only want their people to
have access to one application, or have created their own custom desktop
enviroment they want to impliment. Hence these weird settings and the
actoins you described.

If a reformat of the server does not work, I would also try a different
client. Client's can also have something that says to load a specific file.
I can also give you a place to log in on my TS server with your client to see
what would happen and that would tell you for sure whether it was the server
or the client.

Sorry for taking so long in my response.

Hi Matt,

1. Not that I'm aware of. If I add a program to run when a session is
started, I don't get this error, but only that program runs, and explorer
doesn't seem to load (no start menu bar, system tray etc.

2. Tried that.

Thanks
Mike

I have not had this problem, but a couple of things come to mind.

1. Are their any applications that startup when the session starts up?
Such as run this program at logon? Does a program start when an admin logs on?

2. Would you be willing to reformat?

I'm trying to setup a pilot TS server, but if I try and logon in a session
with any user who has less than administrative rights over the server, I
receive the following error:
You are connected to the remote computer. However, an error occured while an
inital user program was starting, so you are being logged off. Contact the
system administrator for assistance.

It's a new Windows Server 2003 install from CD with SP1. The computer's a
member of the domain and I've given domain users the right to logon via
terminal servers, and granted permissions on RDP for domain users and guest
to logon. I can't find anything useful in the event logs. I tried enabling
verbose userenv logging, but couldn't see anything obvious. Has anyone seen
this and worked around it? cheers
