Re: Domain Account member of local group

Hi
By default members of Local Administrators and Remote Desktop users are able to RDP in. By default Domain Admins are members of the local administrators for all servers/and/workstations. To allow a normal user or members of a given Group to RDP to a workstation or a set of workstations you add that user/or/Security group to that local group on the workstations/servers. Additionally you can use GPO to deploy that if you're dealing with a large set of machines.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Hi,

I can Remote Desktop onto an XP workstation in my domain, if the local account I'm using is a member of local group "Remote Desktop Users". Simple.

But I would like to logon as a Domain account. It only appears to work if I put the domain account in the "Domain Administrators" group, which gives the account access to ALL XP workstations.

Is it possible to put a Domain Account into a local group ? Or how can I control remote access to a single XP workstation from a Domain account ?


Thanks, B.
