Enable RDP to desktops on domain.
This allows domain users to RDP into their workstations, this uses workstation RDP and NOT terminal server license connections.
You will need:
W2K3 > with ad configured and installed.
WXP
PSexec
Create a global security group in your domain called “RDP-Users”, add users from your domain to this group. These users will be able to login to desktop computers you choose.
Now add the “RDP-Users” group to each desktop computer you want users to RDP into.
Start > run > cmd
psexec \\COMPUTER01 -u domain.lan\admin -p password net localgroup "remote desktop users" domain.lan\RDP-Users /add
above adds the “rdp-users” group to a computer in the domain called COMPUTER01.
This can be done for all the computers on your domain, this allows users who are in the “RDP-Users” group to RDP into their computers.
So all you have to do now is add users to “RDP-Users” group ON YOUR DOMAIN CONTROLLER / Active Directory and that’s it you’re done. No messing about!
To add the domain.lan\RDP-Users group to a list of computers and speed things up do this.
Start > run > cmd
Net view > c:\rdpcomputers.txt
This creates a list of computers on your domain/workgroup, you can remove the computers you do not want to have the rdp-users group.
Then;
Start > run > cmd
psexec -c @c:\rdpcomputers.txt -u domain.lan\admin -p password net localgroup "remote desktop users" domain.lan\RDP-Users /add
