Hello, I run a Samba3 server with XP-Clients and I would like to give some users the ability to use the Remote Desktop, although they are *no* Domain Admin. Either, I can put them in the Remote Desktop Users group, or I put their username or group into the list on gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Setting User Rights -> Allow Logon via Terminal Services. I have some questions regarding that. :-) - Is it possible to deploy this setting via ADM template as NT4-policy? - Would it be possible to deploy this setting with a "real" 2003 server as GPO? - Is there any workaround, or am I left with adding each and any user on every workstation? Thanks in advance Florian

Hi Robert, Hi Thomasz, Hello list,> yes this should be possible use > adms from > http://www.gruppenrichtlinien.de/ > or use reg2adm to create your ownthanks for your feedback! I did not find anything in the ADM templates regarding the Remote Desktop Users. Did you? However, I found out that adding with gpedit.msc and adding with the Remote Desktop Users Box is *not* the same. One is for the "real" Terminal Services (XP does not support as server), the other for the remote desktop. Florian

Hi Thomasz,> hmm, but on my XP stations, default installation with no changes, users > can use the Remote Desktop?are you sure that your users are *no* admins on the machine, but users with limited access? Florian
