Setup RDP to a Windows 2003 Domain Controller

[Guest sphilip]

guys & gals,

 

im trying to setup RDP to my domain controller from within the LAN & also

outside access.

 

I have added the 2 users into the remote desktop users group in the active

directory & also I have gone into the terminal server configuration & inside

connections I have added this group & also the users individually but

whenever I try to logon I get this error

 

"To log on to this remote computer, you must have terminal server user

access permission on this computer. If you are not a member of the remote

desktop users gruop or another group that has these permission, or if the

remote desktop user group does not have these permissions, you must be

granted these permissions manually"

 

The DC is enabled to all remote computers to access this. We have another

server which is member server & not a DC & i can successfully logon using

RDP. I am sure i am missing something because I am trying to RDP into a DC.

 

Please advice

You must be an administrator to log onto a server. Locally or remotely.

....or rights to log on locally, assuming you're trying to let non-admins RDP

to your DC. Best practice is to have a member server as your terminal server.

Be careful when allowing access to RDP from outside. Make sure you specify

source IP addresses in your firewall rules so that only specific IPs can

connect via 3389 else you'll have a ton of people trying to log into your DC

from outside.

 

Good luck,

Roger
