Customisation of RDSH 2012 Start Screen

Customising Server 2012 RDSH Metro Start Menu

I recently wrote a PowerShell script to create a default start menu for all users accessing RDSH servers. This  provides users with a standardised start menu for all users accessing a Session on a RDSH 2012 server.

The script uses the current logged on user's start menu as a template, so it is advised that you create a temp user to customise the start menu. The Script will copy the user's appfolderlayout.bin file to a holding location on the root of (C:) and then to the computer's/server's default profile.

This script can be used on the following Operating systems:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8.1
  • Server 2012
  • Server 2012 R2
