Norine, I will be honest, I have some confusion with your reply. I have an XP Pro system here. The system has under the "Local Security Settings, Local Policies, User Rights Assignments" a Policy called "Allow logon through Terminal Services". There is also a group on the system called "Remote Desktop Users".
I would interpret these two items, when setup to work together, would allow a user to be added to the system and then added to the Remote Desktop Users group. The RDU group could then be added (Is already there by default) to the Allow Logon Policy thus enabling that user to connect to the XP Pro box from a remote location using a Terminal Service client software. I believe that this is the case but have not been able to find anyone who can verify this functionality. If this is the case, then I need to find out why, rdesktop does not seem to work as the XP Pro TS Client. I believe that I am dealing with a permissions or missing service issue since the reply to trying to connect is a "connection refused" message.
