I tried to personalize the W2K16 Server desktop by adding desktop icons and I get something like the the error messages below. Sorry no screen shot :-)
C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Note: This does not happen if you login as the local admin. However, if you login as the Domain Admin which is of course a local admin you still get the permissions error.The server was already joined to the domain.
This issue is by design of Windows Server 2016. I knew it was related to server W2K16 so I tracked it down with the help of this article:

How to fix this issue:
On the Windows 2016 Server open the GPMC, Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options, then enable User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Reboot the server and all is well...
