Re: Users can only login to one TS server

It turned out I was checking the local tcp group but I didn't know I needed
to add the user to the local desktop users as well. Why do I set this in AD
if I still need to add them to the local computer. Is there a way to automate
this when they are added to the remote desktop group?

If you don't know if your server is a Domain Controller, it
probably (hopefully :-) isn't.
You can check it by running Start - Administrative tools - Active
Directory Users and Computers. Find your server's computer account,
it's probably either in the OU "Domain Controllers" or in the OU
"Computers". Right-click the computer account - Properties. On the
General tab, there's a box named "Role". This lists it either as a
"Domain Controller", or a "Workststation or Server."

To check membership of the local Remote Desktop User group:
Start - Administrative tools - Computer Management - Local users
and Groups - Groups - Remote Desktop Users.

I thought yes to both but how can I confirm?
Thanks

Hi,
We have 3 terminal servers running windows 2003 SP2 R2. One
is working correctly. When the same user tries to access
another server they get this error: "you must be granted the
Allow logon through terminal services right. Members of the
remote desktop users have this right." I don't know if it
makes a difference but the one working server ix x64 and the
other 2 aren't. I tried changing the group policy to allow
logon through terminal services but this didn't help. Any
other suggestions? Thanks

.
