Re: Users can only login to one TS server

What do you mean with "the local tcp group"?
And what do you set in AD?

The *only* thing you have to do is to make the users (or better: a
group to which the users belong) members of the local Remote
Desktop Users group on the TS.
Assuming a default installation, this will automatically give them
the "Logon through Terminal Services" right, as well as the proper
permissions on the rdp-tcp connection.

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

Are all servers member servers in a domain?
Are the users members of the local built-in Remote Desktop

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
.
