I am have a problem using the "Start the following program on connection"
with the remote desktop. I am moving from windows server 2k to 2k3. I had no
problem in 2k. The problem is when I logoff using the "Starting program"
same results using AD, client side, or tscc. It hangs on the logoff. The
only processor that is running when I end the program and it tries to logoff
is ntvdm.exe. If I end the processes for ntvdm.exe it will finish the
logoff. If I don't use the "starting program" setting I can run the program
with not problems and logoff with no problems. I also don't have any
problems using the program when using the "starting program", just logging
off. I have the problem with the administrator account also. This is the
only program that I need my users to use and the users have a hard time
turning the computer on and off without calling the help desk. So having two
desktop is way to much for then at this time. I don't have DC installed and
I have no problems using Notepad in the "Starting Program". Used notepad for
testing. Any insite on this would be great. Have a great new year.

I have not tested this on w2003.
However, what if you don't use that option but use terminal profile that is
separate from other logon profile for your users. In that terminal server
profile, under start menu\programs\startup menu, you can place a short cut
for your users program. If your users are using window xp, you should be
able to achieve what you want. If you want to restrict them from using
other programs from the server, you will have to tighten security
accordingly.
 
You may want to post this to the Terminal Services newsgroup as they
are more familiar with these sorts of issues...
