Ok after installing sp2, I noticed that anyone can remote desktop to my
computer within the office and log in with their username and password!
prior to sp2, only users that I allow were able to log into my computer
using RDC.
This is a serious flaw, how can I prevent this from happening?

Thats the thing, in remote desktop permission, the only person who has access
is me.
How is it that others can log in my system, when I only allow myself to be
the only member that was given permission.

Then it would seem that they are members of the Administrators group.(As
stated in the dialog box)

Hey your right!
The domain users group was a member of the local administrators group on my
computer.
I remove that member group and only I can logon now.
Thanks for your help!
