Hi,

Is there a way to add a user account to the approved RDP list for a
workstation? Something controlled through an MMC, not through actually
connecting through remote desktop to the machine and then logging someone
off and then logging in as an admin to manually add them.

I know that this is possible to do through "local security policies", but
can I remotely connect to a desktop's "local security policies"?

Thanks for any help,

jcy
