I'm a new hire to a company and I've never used TS before. I was given my domain admin priviledges and went to work last week. I was probing and testing the network for any flaws and I found a big one I'd like to fix. I am able to .rdp into the terminal server and from there I'm able to use .rdp into any other server in the network. The problem lies not with my login but with a normal user's login, I'm able to do this. What can I do to prevent normal user's from logging into any machine they want?

Server '03 SP2

What is a "normal" user?

Do you mean any user in the "Users" or "Authenticated Users" group?

I would start there.

I would check to see if there are any group policies setup to allow
this type of access.

If a "normal" users can RDP in a DC, that is a big issue.

If your own login can RDP to any server, that seems OK since
you are the Domain Admin. If that fits your companies security
policies.
