Remote Desktops Connection

[Ishmealm]

Hi,
I hope I've posted in the right place, but here is my problem. I have a
non-admin user that needs to connect to a Windows 2003 server with Remote
Desktops (the one that opens in an MMC, not Remote Desktop Connection). He
needs to be able to use the connect to console option. He can connect to the
server with RDC, but not with remote desktops. When he tries to connect to
the server with Remote Desktops, he gets an error stating that he doesn't
have access to logon to this session. The only way that he can connect with
Remote Desktops is if I add him to the Administrator group (he can connect to
RDC when I add him to the remote users group). I was hoping that someone
would be able to tell or to point me in the direction as to how to allow him
to connect with Remote Desktops and not be added to the local admin group.
Thanks,
Ishmealm

As Vera and I found-out a few months ago, it's currently not possible. You
MUST be a member of the Administrators Group to logon to the console session.
