Hey guys,
I was needing some help so I figure there was not a better place than Anandtech to ask about this. Basically, what I have is a server running Win2K3. I would like to setup Remote Desktop Connection to support multiple user accounts for people i know logging in rather than giving them the only username/password I currently have to manage the box.

I don't paritcularly mind what they have access to as much as I'd like to be able to kill the account at any point. I did a websearch and all I can find is information about setting up RDC, not about actually managing the accounts.

Can someone link me to a page that does refer to this or if someone knows how to do this could you please give a brief rundown? Thanks!

just create a user account for everybody, allow them access to terminal service, and you're done (assuming the license is taken care of).

Edit: they still connect to the terminal service by using the remote desktop client. nothing is different from the client's end.

Don't use Remote Desktop per se, use Terminal Services in Win2K3. If you install that server role, it will allow any users you have locally set up on the box to log into the machine.
