How do I set up users to log directly into the RDS session with no local control on their computers?

I just set up a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and WEB RDS which works great.  But I have about 15 local users who are on old XP systems which I can't replace right now, so I though If I have them log directly to the RDS with the applications I want to make available to them this could eliminate a purchasing 15 new pc's right now.

do you mean that you want them to have no control over local machines and go straight into RDS?
You could lock down their local machines through GPO (let me know if you need help with this) and only have RDS available on startup, either start automatically or as only icon on desktop

Yes, no control over their desktop and go straight into RDS - and yes need help with local machine lock down - only have RDS available on start up automatically.

Thanks a ton that's enough I got it from here, how about when they boot up and log-in they are in the terminal session, will that show up in the Admin template?
Depending on your OU structure. As long as TS-server is not in that OU - they should be fine within RDP
