Hi, we have clients using MS Office over a VPN into a WIN2K box.

However in addition to seeing the normal Office shortcuts they also see the
normal WIN2K server admin shortcuts.

Any pointers to how the TS clients can be configured to not see that which
they have no use for.

Thanks.
 
You can move the shortcuts for the Administrative Tools from the
All User profile to the Administrator profile.
You can also apply a Group Policy which uses redirection of the
users Start menu, Program Folders, etc, and to redirect them to a
custom Start Menu which contains only the items you want them to
see.

I tend not to move those shortcuts and prefer to use a GPO to hide those
common groups.
Instead I hide the common groups and add the Icons that users should see to
a redirected startmenu or worst case copy them to their profile via login
script.

Simple reason is that I cant count the number times I have had to
troubleshoot other peoples systems and I login as an admin equivlenant and I
don't have any of the proper shortcuts because the original admin copied
them to his profile only.

anyway just my preference.
