Re: TS running on a DC

First off, really really bad idea that you put TS on a DC.

Second, the remote desktop user group (assuming this is windows 2003) is a
local group. DC's do not have local groups hence no group. you must
manually give a group/users rights to the log on through terminal services
user right.

Third, did I mention what a bad idea it is to allow users access to a domain
controller? Virus's, worms, spyware, etc on a DC.
