Hi,

I got setup of Windows Terminal Server.
and allow users to using the RDP.

Can anyone know about this:
1) How to enable / show the Clock on RDP Client? (already enable/disable
from User configuration / Administrative Templates / Start Menu and Task bar,
it seems like not work).

2) How to disallow user to save files on the desktop?

3) How to redirect the my documents path? (tried to look / edit the group
policy on the Server locally for the User configuration / Windows Settings /
Redirection Folder, but couldn't get it).

It is the redirection folder only work on Site/Domain/OU only?... would it
able to work on GP at Locally machine?

TQ

CK

Check this:
How to enable the taskbar clock
http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/taskbar_clock.php

But make sure you read this first:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=186505

You have to use NTFS permissions on the file system to restrict
user access, not only to the desktop, but to the server file system
as a whole. I would redirect them to a custom desktop folder and
give them only Read permission to that custom desktop folder.

The user settings are normally taken from whatever Group Policy
applies to the OU which contains the user account. To achieve what
you want, you have to use loopback processing of the GPO which is
applied to the Terminal Server.

If your TS is a member server in an Active Directory domain, I
would certainly use a Group Policy linked to the OU which contains
the TS.
