Terminal Server

I have W2K Advanced server with Terminal Services. I would like to be the only one who can connect to this box in the Domain, as other users have client software on their workstations and do from time to time connect to this TS.
How can I restrict all users in one blow but at the same time allowing myself connectivity? I am Admin to this server.
thanks,

u can play around with AD user profile setting

The remote control, terminal services profile, and sessions tab


somehow i feel that it is a bit contradict with what u have said

1) u want to be the ONLY ONE who can connect this box in the Domain with using TS.

2) at the same time others can connect the server from time to time...

Anyhow you can always kill the user sessions but right click on the My Computer of the Server and click on Manage, then check the sessions under shared folders... if users connected to the machine, u should see some session... and you can disconnect them.

Hey Blogg,

If you don't want anyone other than administrators to have access to this server, the easiest way to do that is to take it out of Application Server Mode and put it in to Remote Administration Mode.  The blocks all users except administrators and only lets one person in at a time.  This can be accomplished by going to add remove programs > windows components > select terminal services > then click next, it will ask you what mode you want it in.  Let me know if this helps.
