Send Message - Admin Rights

[Guest JohnB]

Our users work exclusively through RDP. For some reason a handful of users

were given local admin rights, so that they could send each other messages

using Task Manager.

 

I found this article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786099.aspx

 

Which says "You must have Message permission in order to send messages".

And I looked at what rights Remote Desktop Users has, and it includes the

Send Message right. But... our users that don't have local admin rights

still can't send a message using this

method.

Can anyone else use this Send Message option, without having local admin

rights?

 

TIA

Have you considered implementing something like Live communications

server or just giving htem access to some sort of IM?

Re: Send Message - Admin Rights

 

What is the Windows version of Terminal Services are you running?

by default i believe post Win2k3 Remote Desktop Users do not have send

message permissions. You can set the permissions with tscc.msc (or

tsconfig.msc in win2k8)->Permissions tab

Thanks

Win2k3.

I just found it. I hadn't gone far enough..... I just looked on the

Advanced tab, and Message was unchecked.

 

Thanks
