Terminal Server - Stupid Question

I am new to terminal server and here is the stupid question. I have Terminal Server activated on a Domain Controller Server 2000. When I logon to a terminal session I get a security error, unless I sign on the terminal session with an administrator account. I understand that a domain user cannot interact with a server by security policy, but is there a work around besides allowing domain users to sign on interactively with the server? Will this become an issue when I setup terminal server on a Windows 2000 server in member server mode?
Thanks in advance.
 
You can configure the access to Terminal Services from Terminal Services Configuration.

Start > programs > Administrative Tools > Terminal Services Configuration.
 
Cards - you have to grant TS users the ability to log on locally to run a TS session. Just create a new group for TS users only and then grant that group log on locally rights to the server that is running TS.

You can go a step further and then configure GPO's to really lock down the sessions for the users.

If your experience is like mine, you'll have the most fun with printers. ;-)
