Windows Server 2012R2: Remove Server Manager and Powershell icons from taskbar

In most cases we dont need icons like Server Manager or PowerShell on our Terminal Server. This post is about Windows Server 2012R2.

For remove Server Manager icon, delete shortcut in „C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\Server Manager.lnk“

For remove PowerShell icon, delete shortcut in „C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Windows PowerShell.lnk“

Now when your new user login to terminal server for first time, the user profile cannot copy these icons (shortcuts) 🙂
