Terminal Services

[McLarnon]

I have a W2K Server running terminal services that I'm using to connect to via Remote Desktop on Windows XP clients.

As administrator I am able to shadow each clients terminal server session by deselecting the "require users permission" option for their domain (2003 Domain) user account in Active Directory users and computers. So that I can connect to them without them having to approve the connection.

However I also have users connecting from my second domain located in London and their domain controller is a Windows NT 4 Server.

Is there a way for me to install a TS add on to this NT 4 Server that will allow me to connect to these users session without needing permission? Currently if I try and connect to them I have to wait until they approve my interception. If so does this add on add this option to each user account in User Manager on the NT 4 Server?

Thanks

Ross.

See this KB article: KB 292190

It should let you bypass the permission request altogether, either through a configuration of the RDP connector on your server or via local group policy on the server.

I believe this should work because it focuses on the 2003 server's local config and not with domain-level policies.

Thanks for the reply ShackDaddy. I totally agree with focusing on the servers config rather than the domain level policies but my Terminal Server is a 2000 Server and not 2003, there is no Terminal Services folder in the 2000 group policy editor.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ross.

On your W2K terminal server, when you run the Terminal Services Configuration Tool and set the RDP-TCP component properties (specifically the remote control tab) and uncheck the "Require user's permission" box, you are still prompted for permissions from user connections from the other domain? Check on that setting and get back to us.
