The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition SP4
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition SP5
This article was previously published under Q256171

SYMPTOMS

If a system policy that uses the Custom Shell option is defined and you use an Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client to connect to a published program, you receive the custom shell instead of the published program.

The system policy entry is:

Default User, Windows NT Shell, Custom User Interface, Custom Shell

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you choose the custom shell before checking for the existence of a published program or initial program.

STATUS

This problem was first corrected in Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6.
