No, that's not necessarily true. There are many occasions where a user may need to remotely logon to a box but not be the admin. One occasion is a user who logs onto his own machine from home via VPN.
A terminal server is the same whether you are the admin or not. The restrictions/permissions that you have are the same whether you're at the box or remotely logged in. XP uses a form of terminal service to allow multiple logons to the same machine with different settings. - Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick McClure" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 1:22 AM Subject: RE: Any Terminal Server admins out there? > That is why I think they are trying to log on to the terminal server for > remote admin mode, as opposed to a virtual XP terminal or something. > > The allow remote logins in the is usually for the admin group only. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Chesty Puller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 10:48 PM >> To: CF-Community >> Subject: Re: Any Terminal Server admins out there? >> >> James, >> You need to go into the local policy for the server (admin > tools>local >> security policy) and add what ever users would need to "allow remote >> logon" >> or "allow network logon" or something to that effect.
