I have set the 'Environment' tab in many users AD user profile to start a
particular application at logon. This has been working just fine - UNTIL I
modifed a GPO by adding the terminal server policies to my Windows 2000 SBS
machine and then set some of the computer 'Terminal Server' policies
settings. I did NOT set the policy where you can specify a program to run at
start up entitled 'Start a program on connection'. It shows as 'Not
Configured' for both the computer and user configurations. However, now what
is happening is that when a user logs onto our terminal server they are
seeing the desktop instead of it starting the application I specified in the
environment settings in their user profile.

Any idea what may be happening here and what I can do tomake sure that the
startup program specified in a users profile is run when they log on?

Thanks, Brad

If you turn off the GPO Policy does the application run on the user login?
