Well, to begin with we had this really weird problem that the thin clients as well as the terminal server would only load user based group policy if you are a member of the group of local administrators. While that’s ok for the thin clients (users can’t actually change something unless they log in as “Administrator” – don’t ask me why), it’s a real no-no on the terminal server.
We tried redoing *everything* (that is, starting with the domain, then terminal server and after that the thin clients) and yet nothing changed, it didn’t work either. That’s what I’ve been doing the last 2 weeks. Up till now, I always thought a user would have access to the ntuser.dat (that is HKEY_CURRENT_USER), if his NTFS permissions would be correct. But nooooooooooooooooooooo, Microsoft had to introduce another layer of permissions.
