Remote Desktop vs Terminal Services


Recommended Posts

H Guys,

 

brand new install, Server 2003 (x32).

 

SO OK, I put together this nice new Windows Server 2003 (x32), join it to

the domain, and enable TS. I then connect to it remotely as Administrator,

all's well. So let's take the KB/mouse off and run her headless, move her

into the server room. Apps are installed as Admin, all is well.

 

Go for it guys, use it.

 

'The policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively', HUH?

 

Even though Terminal Services is installed the server is acting like 'Remote

Desktop', 2 sessions and Admins only. I've just been in (remote) and removed

the tick from the TS win component, used Petri notes to enable RD again,

then put TS back, all as Domain Administrator. She's still acting as RD

only.

 

I've run RSOP against her and cannot see any policy which may be causing it.

 

She's a member of an SBS2000 domain but I know of no reason why that would

be affecting it.

you need to add the users for terminal services to the remote desktop

group on the LOCAL POLICY for this server.

I don't see any mention in there of adding users to the local remote

desktop users group......As well, you did install terminal services

through add/remove program, windows components correct?

Re: Remote Desktop vs Terminal Services

 

Yes, TS has been enabled from Windows Components in add/remove.

 

Users are members of the 'BackOffice Remote Users' group and I have tried

adding this group manually to 'Allow logon to terminal services' through

secpol.msc (at the prompting of PSS who are now involved). Ivan from PSS is

also stumped.

 

In Terminal Services Configuration the licensing mode shows as 'User' but

she's still behaving as if in 'Remote Desktop for Administration'.

Re: Remote Desktop vs Terminal Services

 

I'm stumped, what is Backoffice Remote Users? Is this on a SBS server

or something?
