AD Management in Windows

NethServer Version: 7.8.2003
Module: cockpit

Hello to all. I have a problem managing AD users. I installed the active directory user and computer utility on a windows 10 pc. Only users in the Domain Admin group are able to log into remote desktop. I tried to put them in the remote desktop users group and the users group but it still doesn’t work. how could i solve?
thanks a lot

Hi Michele,

May I suggest to install RSAT to manage AD etc…

Have a look here: https://www.micronator.org/affaires/?s=rsat&post_type=product

Use Google Translate to covert to English or another language,

You have to go to remote settings at the remotedesktop-server (could also be a client PC) and have a look if only authenticated login is allowed. If so, you have to choose the users who should have access.

Hi

Best suggestion is to create groups (Like MS has in their AD):

On your NethServer / AD:

remotedesktopusers

Add in users needing RDP access…

On your Windows Client:

Go to Administration -> Users and Groups -> Groups

In the local group remotedesktopusers add in the domain (AD) group of remotedesktopusers.
Add in any other users you might need in here.

This should work.

PS: You can actually create such “RDP” groups for any PC / Groups of PCs, just add in at the end of the groupname eg an underscore and the PC (Short-) Name.

Example:
remotedesktopusers_my-PC
remotedesktopusers_Company-Server
remotedesktopusers_bookkeeping

And use these groups along with the default remotedesktopusers group on the local PC.

My 2 cents
Andy
