WinX missing for domain users

Hi,
I currently deploy some Windows Server 2012 R2 in  a test environment and I have a strange issue.
If I logon with a local user, I can use (Win+X) or the "menu" when I right click on the Windows icon.
With a domain account, I don't have anything...
If I copy the folder C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX to my profile, it works but I don't understand why I have to do that manually (or with a logon script) for each user.
For information, I don't use roaming profile.
Am I missing something?
Is it a normal behavior or a bug ?
Thank you

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that you can’t see a context menu when click “Win+X” keys.
à
If I logon with a local user, I can use (Win+X) or the "menu" when I right click on the Windows icon. With a domain account, I don't have anything...
Would you please use another domain user account (or domain administrator account) to logon and then check
if encounter the same issue?
à
If I copy the folder C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX to my profile, it works
Did you mean that the WinX folder wasn’t existed when this issue occurred? This issue seems to be caused by
the corrupted or missing WinX folder. Please refer to following thread and check if can help you.
Problems
with new start button right-click context menu
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.

  • WinX missing for domain users (Windows Server 2012/R2, Windows 8/8.1)

    Hi,
    I recently created a discussion about a Winx (Right Click) issue that I have in my environment. For windows servers 2012/2012 R2 and windows 8/8.1, I don't have the right click menu.
    I don't use roaming profiles. The workaround is to manually copy the Winx folder for each user who log on but I would like to understand why it doesn't work.
    Here is the previous discussion I created.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4e80c369-242f-47ba-bd22-aafb9b0a6072/winx-missing-for-domain-users?forum=winserverManagement#ab6deeb2-cbcd-4147-a871-4c76d4cb37af
    I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I could not reproduce the issue.
    When i log in the Windows Server 2012 with domain user, the WinX folder already exists ans the Right Click is ok.
    So you could create a new domain user to check the result.

  • SPSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity: Could not retrieve a valid windows identity. No windows identity for domain\user.

    Hi,
    We get plenty of error messages:
    SPSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity: Could not retrieve a valid windows identity.
    No windows identity for domain\user.
    Our SharePoint 2010 environment consists of 2 app and 2 front end servers. We have plenty of SPSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity errors in our SharePoint logs. I found that this is related to C2WTS service. We have this service running under Local System account
    and only running on both Front-end servers. We are not using Kerberos in our environment.
    My question is should this service be configured with domain account even we are not using Kerberos?
    Also should this server be started on App sharepoint servers?
    Is any other way to prevent those errors?
    Thank you,

    Since local accounts are unable to query the domain, and I suspect that the Local System account uses a virtual local account (as opposed to the computer's domain account), then the same would apply to your C2WTS.
    Yes, configure a domain account (DEDICATED, since C2WTS requires some VERY elevated privileges), and the C2WTS will be able to do all of its domain lookups.

  • How-to-tick-automatically-adjust-clock-for-daylight-saving-changes-for-domain-users

    hi
    please help me
    I am using windows 2008 as a domain controller with windows XP & windows 7 as a client.

    Thanks in Advance

    Some more information would be nice (how many computers are in the domain?), but I think I have what you're looking for.  
    What you need to do is change a registry key in the client computers. It's located in the registry at 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
    The string name is DynamicDaylightTimeDisabled and the value for this item is
    0  (Kind of weird - by entering 0, you're saying "No, I DON'T want to DISable daylight savings time). 
    Of course, you'll need to deploy this registry information to the clients from the server.  There are several ways to do it, but the first one I'd try is to create a registry preference item on the server and deploy it as a GPP. 
    This link explains how to do this:

  • Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

    An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
    2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
    Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
    also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
    Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
    If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
    I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/91bc770b-bb70-4885-a4ad-a243edb88753/event-id-8026-workflow-soap-getworkflowdataforitem-failed-doc-library-no-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    I also created another list with the same permissions and using other office files but got the same behavior.
    Now, we have migrated this site from SP2007 to SP2013.
    Any ideas?

    OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
    Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
    successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
    I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
    What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
    library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
    I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
    things that go through this evolution.

  • Slow start first time for domain user

    When a domain user (Active Directory, Win2003) starts StarOffice 8 first time, it takes very often about 10 minutes until the program is started with a 10MB-network. Next time it takes only about 15-45 seconds on the same computer. I have noticed that is very high network traffic when the user starts the program first time from the server where the user folder "Application data" is saved. But the StarOffice8 folder in "Application data" has only the size of 2.8 MB (38 folders and 87 files).
    Can I speed up the first start of StarOffice 8 for new users?
    Is "copy files from another users Application data/StarOffice8" a solution?

  • "File History" won't open/start for domain user profile/account

    I'm trying to use the File History feature in Windows 8.1 to create backups.  When I click "File History" from the control panel, nothing happens.  No new window opens, it just stays at the Control Page.
    I've tried manually going to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\File History".
    All works fine with local Administrative user profile.
    Why does File History not start/open/run for the domain user account that is in the Administrators Group?

    Hi,
    Base on my lab machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 DC, Windows 8.1 client). either domain admin user or domain standard user, they all work fine.
    What's your environment? Did this issue occur on all domain user or specific one?
    In some cases, File History may conflict with the enterprise policies (like retention policy). I suggest you contact your IT admin to see if there is some other policy to limit this.

  • Allow connection to RDS applicatoins and restrict RDP connection for domain users

    I have configured RDS setup, with the following Roles: RD Web Access, RD Gate Way, RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host and RD Licensing.
    the problem is that the domain users can't run the published applications unless I add the "Domain Users" group into the remote desktop users on the RDS servers, but now all domain users can connect RDP to the RDS servers.
    so we need domain users to connect to the RDS published applications and restricting them from connecting RDP to the RDS servers, in addition I can see that internal servers are accessible from outside through the RD gateway server.
    any ideas ? 

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For a test you can create one group, assign the specified user under that group. Add that group under “Remote Desktop User” local group. For getting access to published Remote Application you can simply assign\add the group under collection properties of the
    application and that user can get access.
    For restricting user to server remotely, you can add that group of user under “Deny logon through remote desktop service” under User Rights assignment. Also you can check “Deny
    New User Logons to an RD Session Host Server” settings.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • ESS - Create Expense Report Link is missing for few users

    Hi,
    We are on ECC 6.0 Ehp 3 with EP 7.0.
    We are using the ESS and in that Standard SAP provided Travel and Expenses Module.
    For few of the users, the Create Expense Report  link is missing eventhough the user is assigned with the  Traveller Role
    SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER
    Request you to let me know if any setting needs to be done in the back end/infotype to make the Create Expense Report link visible in the portal.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sekar

    Hello, 
    Same happened on our side.  User is already set with the proper roles, with the correct info types but when logging in the Portal- she, too, could not view the link for Create Expense Report (which is supposed to Create an expense report for a trip without a travel plan).
    When i use my userid, and just switch personnel number to her number, I could create an expense report on her behalf. 
    That made me conclude that her traveller roles are fine.
    Pls help.

  • Http 401 unauthorized for domain user

    I am having an issue with SCCM reporting. One particular domain user is getting 401 error;unauthorized. The user has the identical rights as the other users (based on security group membership) but gets the error when clicking on reports > create report.
    In addition, the user doesn't get the default listing for the reports. Even more peculiar the user can access both the report server and manager URLs.
    Win 2008 R2 w/ SCCM 2012 and SQL server 2008 R2 (runs the reporting site role)

    What is the Security role of this user? Normally, if you give the proper rights for the user in SCCM console, SCCM will take care the security settings in Reporting Service. Anyway, check the settings by accessing SCCMreportserver/reports

  • Fonts missing for random users on random computers

    Hello, We're running network home folders (10.4.9 and 10.4.10 client - 10.4.10 server) and recently there's been weird issue with fonts for certain users on certain computers disappearing.
    These users can use other computers and other users can use these computers without a problem, but something with the specific user on the specific computer is screwing with the fonts. You can see them all in /Library/Fonts, but when a word processing app is used (Word, Appleworks, iWork, etc), the font list has only about 20 fonts.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    Hi
    On the Server create a folder in the Shared Items folder and call it Library, create another folder within that folder and call it Fonts. Copy all the fonts you wish your network users to use into that folder. Launch Server Admin and make sure Guest Access is enabled for the AFP Service. Go back to WGM and share that folder and use standard POSIX to apply permissions. Make admin the Owner with Read/Write privs, admin as the Group with Read Only privs and Everyone with Read Only privs.
    By default when you create new share point, Guest Access is enabled for AFP and SMB. Leave these as they are. You disable FTP sharing if you wish. Select Network Mount and authenticate using the Directory Administrator account. Enable Network Mounting of the newly created share point and set it for Shared Library Use.
    For the setting to take effect restart the clients.

  • Accessing Sharepoint 2013 externally for domain users and customers

    Just an FYI I am not a SP administrator by any means but have be tasked with taking over this project and could use some assistance.
    Sharepoint 2013 is working fine internally. Users access the site and login with their domain credentials. Our client is moving one of their departments to another building down the street and we'd like them to be able to access local resources without the
    use of another server or site to site vpn or standard vpn. 
    My question is, how do we make Sharepoint accessible outside of their local network? 
    If we open up a port on the router and have it forward all request to Sharepoint server will we be able to access it?
    Also, how will they authenticating with the Sharepoint Server? Do they use the same user credentials?
    I forgot to mention this is Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition. We are also using Project Server 2013 as well.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi 3s1k,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to access the SharePoint site from Internet.
    You need to first ensure that you enable Anonymous Access for your web application. You'll then need to set up DNS for the domain you own to point to your web front end server (or virtual IP if it's load balanced). Then set up the appropraite IIS bindings
    for the web application, and finally you'll need to extend your web application to an Internet Zone and give it the appropriate domain name.
    There are some similar posts for your reference:

  • Restricting websites for domain users

    Hello,
    We have a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server with Service Pack 1 and IE 9.
    All users in the domain get to the internet through the server and are allowed to visit any web site.
    Users have a combination of Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows 7 Pro.
    We would like to institute something to restrict user website browsing.
    I found this information in a search of the web:
    http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Restricting-Specific-Web-Sites-Internet-Explorer-Using-Group-Policy.html
    It looks like this should work, but it seems like it would be a lot of work to either get the allowed sites into IE or the not
    allowed sites into IE.
    Does anybody know of a file that can be imported into IE to populate the Allow this web site for Always or Never?
    Any help anybody can provide to institute a website restriction policy would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks,
