We currently have a published desktop in Citrix for server 2008, I can assure you this topic is related to Microsoft Group Policy.
The objective is to publish a server 20120 desktop instead of an the existing server 2008 published desktop. Internally that would be a large learning curve for the end users SO we want to make it easily adaptive to 2008 yet it must be 2012.
I know that server 2012 has a toggle between tiles and the desktop and of course to add to the confusio9jn comparing this to group policy without using classic shell, I have found some information on the internet including installing feature, desktop experience and then cleaning away the tiles.
We need group policy to have them only login to the desktop and then only allow Logoff from the Start menu or if tile switch and start menu is not available I can see that there is a group policy to remove the Do not show start menu at login, but what about
removing the Tile feature altogether and the start menu? We could put application shortcuts on their desktop and then a shortcut to logoff.
This way they can just logoff at the desktop, but if we do that we would need to ensure that they do not delete the shortcut. Hopefully I have defined the objective, please help. Please let me know if you have any questions that I have not
described.
