Remote Desktop logon with Restricted User
I have made all workstation users on my domain Restricted User. I do like to be able to use Remote Desktop to logon to their desktop interactively for troubleshooting purposes, but now that they are Restricted Users, I am unable to log on unless I use my Domain Administrator account which logs the current user off. Is there a way to override these settings with a group policy of some sort?

Remote desktop to a workstation always logs out the current user. (unless you log in using their own userid, in which case it connects to the current session, but their screen goes blank while you work)
You can connnect using Remote Assistance and see what their screen looks like, and interact with it. The user can send you a Remote assistance request from the help and support screen.
