shadowing

[Guest seth]

I know this might be a very simple question, but can a non-administrator

have the ability to shadow another session?

 

I have a user trying to share a session with another user on a terminal

server and can't seem to shadow. She gets an error (I asked her to tell me

what error it is) and was wondering if it was because she is not an admin on

that system.

Re: shadowing

 

Yes, normal users can shadow each other, if you give them "Remote

Control" permission, in Terminal Services Configuration - rdp-tcp

connection - properties - security

Re: shadowing

 

on the remote control tab it is enabled, required user permission, and to

interact

however, when one user tries to shadow another user, it simply says "Session

(ID 8) remote control failed"

I wonder if it's because of the screen resolution (233365)...then again, it

says it applies to 2000

 

also too, the user may not have responded to the request for permission in

time...

Re: shadowing

 

i was looking at the wrong location; i think i found it now and they didn't

have rights to remote control

i will have the user try it again monday

Re: shadowing

 

i enabled that option and the user still says she can't connect to a remote

session; error appears immediately

Re: shadowing

 

Check your GPOs for the setting

"Sets rules for remote control of Terminal Services user sessions"

 

which can be found in

Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows

Components - Terminal Services

 

and in User Configuration.

 

Can you shadow user sessions?
