RDC over VPN

[Grenage]

Greetings again,

Has anyone come across an issue RDC connections not being established when being run over a VPN, and the user is not an administrator? I can put the laptop on the physical network, and the user can access a server using a remote desktop. I can connect to the network using a VPN and anyone with local admin rights can access the server using a remote desktop. When I connect over the VPN using a standard 'user' account, the RDC will not establish itself.

Using RUNAS on the remote desktop exe, when logged in as a 'user' does not work; I'm completely out of ideas here. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Russell.

The "standard user" has to be a member of the "Remote Desktop Users" group. Go to Computer Management > Users and try adding that group, see if that does it.

Unfortunately it didn't make any difference, that's one of the first things I tried. Thank you for the suggestion, though. The effort shall have to begin again on Monday!

This is a long thread, I'm not sure how relevant it is to your problem but it might not hurt to have a quick look at it.
