Limit remote acces to server

[Guest Miha]

Hi

 

Is it possible to limit remote access to Win2k3 server so that you could

remote connect only to the console session (mstsc.exe /console)?

If I disable remote access than also /console switch doesn't work, but if I

set that only 1 connection is possible to server, it is possible that

besides /console session another admin logs into server, but I want that

/console session will be the only way to remotely connect to a server.

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Miha

Yep I also think that this is the only way :-)

Miha,

 

It is possible to restrict Terminal Server to allow only one remote session

and force that session to be the console session.

I do this on several Win 2003 Term boxes.

 

1. In RDP-TCP properties, set maximum connections to 1 on the Network

Adapter tab.

2. Add the Everyone group to the Permissions tab.

3. Select the Everyone Group in the Group or user names area.

4. Choose the Deny permission for Guest Access in the Permission for

Everyone area.

 

This will permit only one connection to the server and only through the

console (session 0).

 

Happy TSing :)
