how does the connection happen between AD and the RDS server?
Trying to better understand the connection between Active Directory and the RDS server. We have a VM that runs our terminal (RDS) server and another VM for DHCP/DNS/AD of course. When I add a user to the domain it adds it in AD as a member of the domain users group. I then have to add the user to the Remote Operators group and VPN users group if this user needs to connect remotely. My question is: Where and how does the connection happen on the server running AD when I add the group of Remote Operators and VPN users to the user? I know that the RDS server role is setup for this but how does adding a user to the group TALK or connect to the RDS server? Sorry if I'm not asking this correctly.

Joe. Where on the RDS server can I find the groups that are defined to allow a user to connect to a RDS session?
what you are doing essentially is to add a group in "remote desktop users" local group on each server through common console so that group members can connect to RDS server
The question you asked in such manner that you need to understand RDS work flow which I believe I have tried to explain

For the VPN Group, do your users need to first connect to a VPN before they can connect to the RDS server? if so, that would explain why the users would need to be added to two groups.
