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
