A client has Remote Desktop Services running on Server 2008R2, domain joined and wants a time clock program to start automatically when the session starts. I figured it would be no problem, but I'm finding out TS does things a little differently.

I've only been able to find documentation on autostarting a program in 'kiosk' or application mode- the session starts with desired program and only desired program available, if the application is terminated, the user logs out.

I've tried editing the User Profile, Run Program at Logon GPO, and even used a GPO to add a registry key in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. All attempts give either the previously described result, or no result at all.

Any ideas?
 
just put it under the start menu "startup" folder for default user

Trick is, it is for hourly employees only. Salaried staff does not need it and customer does not want it showing on Salaried sessions, or exam room sessions.
 
GPO to place it in the startup folder for users that are in a hourly employee security group.
