Remote Desktop and Service Pack 2
Hi, i have a problem with Remote Desktop that i hope somebody can help me
with: Under WindowsXP Gold/SP1 we used make use of Remote Desktop functionality. Normally, users must be a member of the local 'Remote Desktop Users' group before they could logon via Remote Desktop. However, if they were already logged into the target workstation (and had locked it etc) then they could Remote Desktop to it without being in the local Remote Desktop Users group. This was most useful, as it meant that people could use their 'own' machine, but not connect to any others. Under WindowsXP SP2, this no longer works and users MUST be a member of the 'Remote Desktop Users' group before connecting. (BTW I know that this is not a firewall issue, as if i place the user account into the Remote Desktop users group they can connect OK). A little digging with Security Analysis shows the following: SP1 - Allow Logon Through Terminal Services = Administrators, Users SP2 - Allow Logon Through Terminal Services = Administrators, Remote Desktop Users Ok, so i found a difference. so I used GP to add the Users group into the 'Allow Logon Through Terminal Services' right. However, sadly this now means that ANYBODY can Remote Desktop to a machine, which is not what i want. Does anybody know if this change in SP2 was deliberate, and if a workaround exists? We are keen to make the Remote Desktop functionaility available to the person who is currently logged on to the workstation, without having to put individuals into the local group, and without letting anybody else connect Many thanks -- Jim Watts, Technology Consultant Information Systems Services University of Southampton |
