Hello All, I have a problem that I cannot find any information on and was hoping someone here is able to answer for me. We have a farm of Server 2008 R2 machines that allow audio redirection but basic users cannot control the volume level from the task bar in the lower right hand corner, but admins of the machine can. They have to go in through the control panel which is not really desired. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and found a fix? Thanks, Gerad

you mean to say they can increase and decrease sound from control panal but cannot do the same from the taskbar iconhttp://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

That is exactly what I mean. Sorry I did not make that clearer. Gerad

Hello, I have sent the report on one of the servers with a basic user logon. I also uploaded a screen cap of the problem (look for the boxes in the lower right hand corner). The problem is not that it is hidden but that they can not control the volume from the icon in the taskbar. Thanks, Gerad
