<li>Create domain group called say &quot;TeamCity Test Accounts&quot;</li>

How can I use Group Policy to <b>add </b>users to the Remote Desktop users group? <br />
i.e. I need to &quot;append&quot; to the group on the target server rather than replace/remove any existing users.<br />
<br />
The long version:<br />
We have a bunch of development servers. I need to ensure that certain groups always have remote desktop access. &nbsp;But each server also has a couple of specific user accounts that need to have remote desktop access. And these accounts vary from server to server.<br />
<br />
When I use Group Policy &amp;&nbsp;set the members of the Restricted Group &quot;Remote Desktop Users&quot;, this removes any existing users that are already in the &quot;Remote Desktop Users&quot; group.<br />
<br />
What is the best way to achieve my goal?

How can I use Group Policy to add users to the Remote Desktop users group? 
i.e. I need to "append" to the group on the target server rather than replace/remove any existing users.

The long version:
We have a bunch of development servers. I need to ensure that certain groups always have remote desktop access.  But each server also has a couple of specific user accounts that need to have remote desktop access. And these accounts vary from server to server.

When I use Group Policy & set the members of the Restricted Group "Remote Desktop Users", this removes any existing users that are already in the "Remote Desktop Users" group.

What is the best way to achieve my goal?

Can a GPO add users to &quot;Remote Desktop Users&quot; without overwriting the existing members

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
