Show Terminal Server 2008 in RWW 2008 Connect To Computers

[DennisStefan]

Hello,

I have migrated my Server 2003 to SBS 2008 and set up RWW 2008. I also have configured a Terminal Server 2008. I transferred my Users OU to My Business/SBSUsers OU and assigned Standard Users roles to non-Domain Admins. I am unable to get the Terminal Server 2008 to appear in the Computers Tab of the users properties window from Windows SBS Console. I have all the local computers listed (after moving them to My Business/SBSComputers OU), however I cannot move the Terminal Server 2008 to My Business/SBSServers OU because it is also my Secondary DC (Handles GC, AD DS, DNS, etc), and is in the Domain Controllers OU.

The users can log in to the Terminal Server with no issues, and I have restricted their access to anything DC related in through Group Policy's.

Is there a way to add my Terminal Server 2008 to the Connect To Computers option in RWW without making all my users Domain Admins?

You'll want to edit the registry on your SBS 2008 Server:

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer

Create a subkey called RemoteUserPortal.

In there, create a multi-string called "TsServerNames".

Add your terminal server's name in there as a value. You may need to restart IIS to make the change show in RWW, but on the other hand, you may not.
