Disable User Editing Connections HP ThinPro 7.x (T530)

So I ran into this one yesterday.  After pushing out a configuration to our new HP T530 thin clients I was shocked to discover that one of the users had the ability with the OS locked down to delete their RDP connection icon.

I quickly recreated it on the thin client so they could log back in.  Today I set out to change the configuration and push it to all of our thin clients to prevent this from happening again.  Here's how:

1.  Go into Administrator mode on ThinPro
2.  Right click on the respective connection on the desktop.  Ex: RDP
3.  Select Edit and then go to Advanced.
4.  Remove the check box beside "Allow the user to edit this connection".

This process is the same for all connection types on the thin client.  I read through the Administrator guide and wasn't able to find a global setting so you'll need to do this for each connection type you are using.

I hope this helps prevent you running into the same issue.

Good luck!

I'm Back!

It's been quite a while since my last post as I had transitioned into a job where I was doing more sales and quoting than field work so I didn't really have anything to post.

Now, I have changed jobs and on a daily basis I'm back into engineering and field work again.

To that end, I'm sure I will run into new issues and processes that I'll put up here for everyone to see and use.  I just hope the bits I add helps someone in IT like me get through a tough problem or issue and look like a champ doing it.

Thanks to everyone that has messaged me with questions and support these past few years.  This blog just serves as my small way of helping all of the people that have posted articles and on forums over the years that helped me out of a tight spot.

I hope 2020 and beyond are great for all.

Thanks!
