GPO to activate Remote Desktop?

[Brock Bruner]

Does anyone know what to set in a Group Policy to activate Remote Desktop,
not Remote Assistance, and set the permissions for what users can access it?

To enable/disable Remote Desktop on an XP Pro box via a Group Policy go to "Start -> Run" and type
gpedit.msc at the command line. Navigate to the "Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration ->
Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services". Highlight and double-click on
""Do not allow new client connections" policy and configure as needed. Select "Ok"...

But, to enable Remote Desktop, you really don't need to do that via Group Policy...

Just as an aside, starting RD via Group Policy was a god-send when I
enabled it company wide at my company for remote administration (we
don't use Remote Assistance...)
