Re: Non Administrative Console Access

Hi,

Error message is:

"To log on to this remote session, you must have administrative permissions
to this computer"

This only appears when trying to access the server via TS Console session,
there is no Event written to the error log when this occurs.

No-one else is logged onto the console at the time

What error does the end user see, and what is written to the event log when
this user's console logon is denied? Is there another user logged onto the
console session?

Hi Josh

User account is in the Remote Desktop users group, and can logon to a normal
TS sesson without the /console switch. The account can also logon directly
to the physical console

Just to be sure, you have added the user account in question to the Remote
Desktop users group on all of the servers, right? And you are able to logon
normally, without the /console switch? If you can't logon with or without
the /console switch, you probably forgot to add the user account to the
Remote Desktop users group.

Logging in to the console does not require administrative privilege, but you
need either Administrative or Remote Desktop User privileges for RD in
general.

Hi,
I have an application which will not run as a service, and needs to be
started from the console.
I have created a non admin user for this purpose, and am able to RDP to a
console session on 3 servers, and start the application process's.
On a fourth server I cannot logon to the console via RDP unless the user
is
made a member of the Local Administrators group. The user can access the
console directly, but not via an RDP session as a non administrator
Any ideas on what the difference could be between the servers?
Cheers
Pete
