Tie NIC to user profile in Windows 2003 Enterprise

[Guest requeth@gmail.com]

I've had a request from a user...

 

 

I have a Terminal Services server with 5 NIC's in it. 4 users connect

to the box via RDP. The users would like that when they login, they

are each assigned their own NIC, so their traffic is separate, and the

5th NIC would be used for their RDP sessions. Since they are doing

network administration this makes sense, but I have no idea if this is

possible in Windows 2003.

 

Anyone know:

 

a) Is this possible?

b) Any resources, tips, faq's, or Ouigi boards I can search for

assistance?

If you like to give them there own NIC with different ip's, maybe this is

a way.

A Terminal server normally is used for an special amount of users as a remote

"workstation", not more.

 

Why make this sense? With a dedicated user account you can track all changes

they do and assign the needed rights. But what kind of administration do

you talk about? Is the TS also domain controller, then multihoming of it,

is a NOT recommended solution?!?!?!

Technical, yes, 5 different ip's each on it's own NIC, every user can choose

a special ip for RDP, NOT the server name. Sense? I don't know.
