How to setup Remote Desktop for non-administrator user accou

Post by Bekz »

I would like to know how to enable remote desktop for non administrators. I do not want some people to have full access to the system and thus add individual accounts that i can set permissions to folders with (as regular users). Whenever I try logging onto their account (via windows remote desktop) however it says:

"The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login."

I have checked the System Properties for the regular user account (by logging into the regular user account through the admin account) and it says that the computer accepts remote connections. As such I am slightly confused as to how I enable remote desktop for them when system properties is saying it's already enabled.

It would seem your system has cut off my subject line and I am unable to edit it. Sorry about that.

To do this for a non-administrator user, I believe that you would need to configure Terminal Services Licensing. A gentleman asked a similar question in April: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... 88&p=20117
