I created a standard image for my Hp z240 machines. Image went in with no problem. I add the computer to the domain, login as a user on AD

Here is the issue. if a standard user logs in adds things to there deskop they can not remove it without admin privileges

What sort of things?

mroth911

Desktop.. When a standard user login into the computer under the domain, When the save something to the desktop it allows them to save it.
Lets say the save a pdf or a picture or add a new folder to the desktop. That works. Now when they try to remove it off the desktop or desktop icons for that matter, a box pops up asking for admin username a password. which they dont have because there not admin.

Ah I see. No idea sorry
Did you use sysprep before imaging to all the other machines?

mroth911

No becuse it's the same model for all the computer ..

You still need to Sysprep to create new SID and other security things.

They only time you shouldn't Sysprep is when you are using the same image for the same person on the same machine.

Would that be the cause of this type of issue, though?

There is no way to a sysprep when creating an image using windows system image

I've heard some folks will build their master image as a VM, and then sysprep that, and make an image of it. Then it can be restored to new VMs, or even new physical devices, like laptops, etc.

Build the new image, and get it the way you like it, with whatever software needs to be installed. Then right before you sysprep the machine, take a snapshot of it.

Then do the sysprep, and take your image. You can then use that new image to work on Laptops, or Desktops, etc.

Unfortunately, that's not much help for the situation you are in now.

I dont know the solution to the current problem, sorry.

You can sysprep an installed system.

Sysprep /generalize /shutdown /oobe

This will sysprep the already installed system and Out of Box Experience the desktop. So remove it from the domain first.

Then when you go to login, you'll have to activate the desktop etc.

As for if this will fix the desktop issue as described I would think the issue is GPO related and not image related.

dafyre

It could be a group Policy issue... Here's a thread from SW with a couple of GPO things you can check...

Not that shouldn't matter.
