If you want to stick to XP on your PCs and you want pass-through
authentication, then you need to use Citrix on top of Windows TS.
But your very best option is what I already wrote: thin clients,
either hardware or software.

Hi Vera,.
Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to configure the logon to
do what we want, essentially bypassing the local computer and do
all work from TS w/out having 2 logons (once onto the computer,
once onto TS)? We're trying to make this as idiot proof as
possible.

I'm only going to reply to the logon portion of the thread
here.
I don't think that the link Matt provided covers your
situation.
If you configure the generic user account to *only* be able to
logon to the TS, users will not be able to logon to the PC to
start with. They won't be able to choose the TS in the logon
screen, you are confusing domains and allowed workstations.
Moreover, it wouldn't do what you want, which is to make sure
that "when a computer is restarted, it goes straight to TS."
To accomplish this, you would have to replace the local shell
of the PC with the rdp client. That's doable, but not the best
solution.
I would recommend buying thin clients, and / or turn your
existing PCs into "software" thin clients.
From a post from Patrick Rouse (another MVP):

If you mean can you replace the local GINA with the RDP Logon,
the best way to do this is to replace the local OS with a Linux
Thin- Client OS like PXES or ThinStation, both of which are
free, or supported non-free OS:

If you mean can the local credentials be passed-thru to the RDP
logon, this is a feature of Longorn Server TS and most current
3rd party products like Provision Networks Management
Framework, Citrix Presentation Server, Ericom Powerterm
WebConnect....

This solution would also mean minimal intervention with the
local client, since there is nothing there which has to be
updated.

Hi Matt,
I've read your reply and the thread with you, Alex and
Vera. Now, let me recap what I got out of this to be
sure I understand correctly:
Logon: In ADUC we set the account to only logon to the
TS, meaning that if our TS was named Moscow, we set it
to that and the only option in the pulldown menu on the
logon screen will be Moscow. Will admin still have the
option to logon to the local computer?

I'm needing help researching TS.
Here's what we have: I work for a hospitality
company. In our current hotel, we have five
stand-alone computers for guests to use. Three are
in a business center setup as a workgroup with MS
Office applications, internet connection and
printing via a local printer. We have two
additional computers on another floor that have
internet access, no productivity software or
printing. All computers have Cybersitter to
restrict access to certain websites as
well as certain areas of the computer, like the
control panel. Also, we use Deep Freeze so that if
anything does get changed, we just restart the
computer and it goes back to the our settings.
However, if I have to do anything, like update the
anti-virus or Windows, I have to physically touch
the computers, which, depending on what needs to be
done, can take a good chunk of time.
Here's what we're trying to accomplish: The same
setup as above, with at least double the number of
computers, and using a solution that will make it
very easy to update and maintain the computers
without having to go and physically touch each
computer. When discussing TS with my boss, he said
one of the things that we need to be sure happens is
that when a computer is restarted, it goes straight
to TS.
I know very little about TS, I'm just getting
started in this field, so any help I can get will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any replies.
