I have server 2003 set up on a testing system, as you know, I have it set up
with the following roles, don't criticise me for all this, its just to test:
DHCP, DNS, APPLICATION SERVER, FILE SERVER (no choice), PRINT SERVER(no
choice), DOMAIN CONTROLLER AND FINALLY TERMINAL SERVER.

Now here is the problem. I sat at work today and decided to access my
computer remotely, as an administrator, using RDC from and XP system. All is
great, I can connect to it, and have access to the files folders and tools
that I would had I been sat right at it, this is not a problem.
I decided to sign in as one of the users that I setup, got the error message
that the user needs to in the remote desktop users group or assigned the
right to access the server via terminal services, here is where the
problemss begins:

I add the user to the remote desktop users group AND assign the right to
access the computer via terminal services (couldn't get either one to work,
so did both, this solved it), perfect the user can sign in and use the
roaming profile they set up when working locally, but I noticed thaat the
user account needed some adjustment, so I signed out, and back in as the
administrator........

Now the admin has no rights to access the computer remotely....at all. You
need to add this user to the remote users.....

Cut a long story short, assigned the right to access the computer via TS to
the administrators group, still no go, added the admin group to the remote
users too, now I can sign in, but I do not have admin rights or permissions,
can't aaccess shared folders etc, can't run tools.....

If I remove the rights aand permissions from the user account, and remove
the admin from the remote users group and remove the right to sign in via
TS, I can sign in, and admin.

I know the admin should be able to admin remotely, but why did it go wrong
when I altered the rights and membership for 1 user?
This BTW is a server 2003 120 day trial, Evaluation Copy, Build 3790
(Service Pack 1, v.1433) all updates and patches applied.

Thanks in advance
