Hello

I have a w2003 server std set up in "normal" mode, and this let me connect
via RDP for remote use as an administrator.
The thing is that one user who not is an administrator need to connect
remotely for a short time.
I have tested with some policy-settings and membership in different groups,
but it seems to be only membership in any admingroups that gives him access.

What can i do to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

make sure the users are member of the Remote Desktop Users group, otherwise
they never be able to connect to the TS.

Regards.

Thanks for answering so fast.
The user is in this group, but it doesn´t do any differens. Is there any
settings that has to be done on the server for letting other than
administrators connecting?
Something with terminalsettings?

Do you have a license server installed and activated?

If the server is only configured for Remote Desktop for
Administartion, no TS Licensing Server is needed.

Gunnar, can you confirm that you did *not* install Terminal
Services (which implies Application Server mode), but that you just
enabled Remote Desktop for Administation (in System -properties -
Remote)?
Remote Desktop for Administration is by default only allowed for
members of the Administrators group. You can change this on the
Security tab of the rdp-tcp connection properties (in
Administrative Tools - Terminal Services Configuration).

Note that it is *not* possible for non-Administrators to start a
console session (with mstsc /console), only a normal session.
