Instead, what happens is the All Apps section of the Start Screen is redirected to the folder we specified in the folder redirection GPO.Īs you might know you can access that by right clicking on the Start Screen (or by pressing CTRL-TAB). Why is that? This is because the Start Screen can simply not be redirected using folder redirection the way the Start Menu was redirected in Windows Server 2008 R2. That’s right, a completely empty Start Screen, whoops!
This is what a new user would see upon first logon: So, what happen if we would stick to this solution and redirect the Start Menu using the following well-known GPO setting? And by using Access Based Enumeration on the share that hosted the Start Menu, end users would only see shortcuts they were authorized to see, based on group membership. With Windows Server 2008 R2 a method that was commonly used (although it has it’s CON’s) was the redirecting the Start Menu to a central location. So when running Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2012 that raises the question, how can we control the Start Screen the way we would usually control the Start Menu up until Windows Server 2008 R2. In fact, as soon as you enable the desktop experience feature on a Windows Server 2012 (RD Session Host) server the Modern UI Start Screen is launched upon logging on. For Windows Server 2012 this is no different. To replace that we now have the Modern UI Start Screen. As you probably know Windows 8 does not have a classic Start Menu anymore.
