Re: How to Setup TS User

Vera,

Thanks and that all makes sense.

Yes all accounts are domain accounts, a single domain.

Maybe this question is too simple. If the user is sitting in the remote
site, what is the correct process for them to logon to the TS. As I stated,
I currently have them logon with a dummy account and then use Remote Desktop
Connection to logon to the TS with their account in the local site

Is that correct or is there a way that they logon to the TS directly??

Sites have nothing to do with the logon process.
The user accounts are domain accounts, correct? And you have a
single domain, containing both the TS as a member server and the
user accounts (in their respective sites/OUs)?
Then you only have to make sure that the users' domain accounts are
member of the Remote Desktop Users group on the TS to enable them
to logon to the TS, irrespective of what location they are
accessing it from.

I am new admin to TS. I have a small number of users spread out
over 5 locations,. I have purchased and installed TS and
licenses on a member server in our main loction, all servers are
2003, SP2. I need to setup two users to logon to the TS from a
remote site.

Currently I setup a dummy account for the users in the OU for
the remote site. After logging in to the AD, they then use
Remote Desktop Connection to logon to the TS with their account
in the local site. Although this seems to work I don't know if
this is how TS is designed to work. The users need to logon to
the main site with TS to access Access databases , they also
travel between the two sites.

Any advice or guidance n how a user is best setup to logon to a
TS in a different location would be appreciated.
