[gptalk] Re: Using Poledit on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server

Jeremy I use a group within the Terminal Services ADM to lock down our TS to 
certain users. Is this what your friend is trying to accomplish?

Jeremy-
I don't have a good answer for this. If the user is really a member of this 
group then it should appear in their process token when they login. Can you 
confirm their group membership, maybe by using net user /domain from the TS Box?

Thanks John, but I think you've misundersyood my question.

We want to apply different policies to different groups, and we don't have the 
Group Policy mechanism of Active Directory to use, as the Samba domain emulates 
an NT4 environment. TSusers is a generic group I used for this example, but 
there will also be a developers group, etc. And the developers cannot be locked 
down to the same degree as the TSusers, etc.

Cheers.

a custom Admin template or using a script might be easier, something like the 
below should work to control what group has the right to make a term serv 
connection.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set 
colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem") For Each objComputer in colSettings
    Wscript.Echo objComputer.Name
CN = objComputer.Name
    Next
 srv = Left(CN, 2)
  if srv = "MD" Then
set RDPObj =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!Win32_TSPermissionsSett
ing.TerminalName='RDP-Tcp'")

RDPobj.AddAccount "domainname\TermPerm", 2 End If

 I also believe the WIn2k3 SP2 system.adm file has term serv configuration 
settings

Take Care --John
