I manage a small SBS2003 Network via remote desktop connection to the
server. (I'm in SoCal, Server is in Arizona) Until now, i've only
had a few users, both with administrator privelages (they're the
owners of the company) so never a need to make a hierachary, etc.
I hope you don't mean domain admin privileges - !
Now, i need to add a non-admin (the receptionist) user to the domain,
which i can do via Server management. I add her to the domain okay
(so i think) Now, i have to get her computer setup.
We have a client computer ready for her - it's on and connected to the
network, and i can acess it via RDP from the Server. (So, I RDP to
the Server, then RDP again to the client machines in the office . . .
maybe hoaky, but it works.)
Yes, that's how I do it too.
But, I have to setup this client workstation with email, install
certain
apps for her, etc. When i try to RDP to this workstation using the
domain login info, it reports back "The local policy of this system
does not allow you to logon interactively"
You can't log into the domain on this computer til it's been joined to the
domain, tho.
I can log onto the client computer using the admin account, but then
when trying to add the user to the computer, i get another message
"the trust relationship between this computer and the domain
controller failed." or something along those line.
So, how do i set up her client workstation (logged on as her, i
presume)
Log into the workstation over RDP, using the built-in administrator account
on it. Run connectcomputer from there. Then when done, you can log back in
as a domain account - after remotely managing the PC fromServer Management
to add the domain user (or the RWW Users group if the acct is a member), to
the local "Remote Desktop Users" group on a workstation. Then go to
town....the user will have admin rights on the PC if you assigned the user
to the computer when setting it up. You can remove the user from the local
admins group after you're done.
from a RDP'd connection? What other options do i have? She starts
workign tomorrow, and i don't want to spend 2 hrs on the phone
stepping her through email setup, etc. (there's 2 other apps that i
have to install for her too.) (The boss doesn't want me to spend 2
hrs on the phone w/ her either ;)
