New OU for TS on Stand Alone server

[Guest Andy Dyble]

Hi We have a few users logging into a dedicated server in a data centre

using TS. We want to configure some options for these users. In our own

server which uses AD (2003), we simply create a new OU for it. However the

dedicated server is stand alone and this option doesn't look available.

 

Can this be configured or is there another way to set users or groups not to

be able to shut down etc. ?

 

Many thanks

For a standalone server in a workgroup, you'll have to use the local

policy.

Note that normal users cannot shutdown a server, even if they see the

option in the Start Menu. You haven't made them all Administrators, I

hope?

Thanks for the info.

 

Does this mean I can;t have sone set of users with one setup and another

with a different setup ?

That's correct, that's one of the main disadvantages of having a

standalone server.

You can give different groups different user rights, though.

And check this as well:

 

How can I lock down my standalone TS with a local policy without

locking down the Administrator account?

Our virtual access suite can be installed on a standalone server and provide

full lockdown capabilities w/o affecting administrators. We can apply

setting based on user, group, Client IP Address, Device Name or OU.
