This is my first time dealing with SBS as I usually deal with full blown networks with seperate servers, so this may be an easy question, but I just can't find the answer. When you join the a client to the domain, it automatically "locks" the desktop so that the user can't save anything to anywhere other than the "My Documents" folder. I've tried making the users that have this problem Power Users on the domain, but it doesn't allow them to save. Problem is, some of them run apps that are specific to their machines, that writes data files and it won't allow the apps to run. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Sounds like a group policy limitation or something you have a script doing. I've not had this problem on iether SBS setup I work on.

yeah sounds like you have implemented a standard GPO templated in the editor.. see which ones you have enforced on there, and those kind of options are in the user administration fro teh GP object.

Sounds like somewhere along the line those objects have been defined as they are pretty standard entries.
 
Thanks y'all, but I don't have any GPO's running (that I know of.) I've scoured the whole set up looking for the possible problem but I can't find it. Could it be something as simple as a check mark in the user properties?
 
I'm still stumped by this. I can't find where anything is set to perform this. Does anyone have any idea where I could possibly look? I know it isn't a GPO because I dont have any set up.
