pnshell.cmd disabled
Hi,
In our RDS farm we disabled the execution of command files this is because of security reasons. But then pnshell.exe would'nt start to provision the icons of our applications.
What we did is adding the pnshell.exe to a GPO 'run these programs at user startup'. Becouse of running pnshell directly instead of via a command file we can't add the parameter /noapp (this is not posible in the GPO). Is there a other way to hide the pnshell box at user logon?
TIA

Good Morning,
On the RDS server, open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Create a new string value called Pnshell
Give this a value of
C:\Windows\syswow64\pnshell.exe /noprog
(Note that it is noprog that hides the progress, noapp would apply no application restrictions)
The reason I mention the noapp thing is that normally the CMD checks if you are an Administrator and doesn't apply the app restrictions if you are. There is a risk, if you use our app restrictions, that you could stop your admins from working too!
Enjoy, Andrew.

Thanx Andrew,
This solved the case.
