Changed office installation and remove microsoft lync from the install. FIXED.
I decided whilst fixing things to start blogging about the things being fixed so that others may find it useful.
The problem:
Mulitpoint boots up and “auto-logs-in” as WMSShell user however the stations do not initiate a session and the blank default windows desktop is viewable. Its like its stuck in maintenance mode.
The fix:
As it turns out Multipoint server 2011 or 2012 autologs the local user WMSShell in and then autostarts the multipoint interface which is located at: C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\SRCShell.exe. (WMS 2011) or C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\WMSShell.exe (WMS2012)
The C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\SRCShell.exe is the missing part. if you run the EXE (locally) it will start the familiar Multipoint Login Screen.
ok fixed right.. no….not quite…
To make this work after a reboot a little more work is needed. The problem is that the C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\SRCShell.exe is called from the WMSShell local user profile. To edit this you must remote into the system as another user and log the WMSShell user off using task manager / users / logoff, then use regedit to open the NTUser.dat file for the WMSShell users profile located in c:\users\WMSShell\NTUser.dat
Fixed.
If anyone knows the reson why this disapeers let me know!!!!
