I am experiencing a problem with our 2k-server box. After MS released auto-updates on Thursday, October 16, 2003, users started experiencing the MSI-Office installer every time they tried to use an office application. Sticking the office CD in the server would only reveal an error that a local file was missing from the office install directory. An attempt to repair the office concluded with the same error. So, office was uninstalled/reinstalled and now all users are receiving a blank desktop (no icons, toolbars, etc.. just the blue windows screen) upon login to the Terminal Server.
As an administrator, I am able to login without a problem.
I have also noticed that if I give local Admin privileges to the domain users, their desktop loads without a problem.
I have had a similar problem doing updates before with a different 2k server running TS, but that was with the admin login as well. The fix was to create a new admin profile and the problem eventually fixed itself with later updates. I've been searching and can't find any relevant docs or info regarding this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe this has to do with automatic updates and not rebooting the server after they have been applied.
I’ve already checked MSKB article 287654
