Question about W2K3 Server and XP Clients Using Remote Desktop

[Adam Sandler]

Hello,

I have a question about using mstsc.exe in a W2K3 and XP environment.
With regard to the group policy, what are all the group policies which
could affect remote connections? I have the allow logon interactively
policy set but I still get an error which states I cannot logon to a
given host when trying to use a remote desktop connection. I'm asking
because there are literally hundreds of possible group policy
settings. Does anyone know of a list of policies related to RDC and/
or terminal services? That would help troubleshooting and hunting an
pecking through all the policy options.

Thanks!

Yes, many possibilities. This case may help,

The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon ....Situation: the client can logon his XP Pro using his username but he receives "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively" ...

Thanks for the reply... I changed the setting mentioned in the link
above and now, with some users, they receive this error" you do not
have access
to logon to this session". The groups for those users affected are in
the RDC-TCP properties -- yet that latest error still appears. Any
suggestions on how to fix this one?

This is why, in my first post, I was hoping to come across a list of
all the settings which could affect RDC. The administration of this
feature is hardly centralized and knowing directly where to go
troubleshoot would be helpful.

Nevermind, fixed it... the SIDs for the accounts, as listed on the
local computer's remote connection properties, were corrupted. When
they were re-added, everything worked fine. Thanks again!
