Terminal Server Access

[Chris]

We setup a Terminal Server (TS) on a WIN 2K server in app
mode. We also created a new OU and a GP for our MAC
clients, because they will need to access the TS from
their MACs. What is the best practice to grant them
access/logon privileges to TS?

Thanks in advance.

Not very different from how you grant TS access to a Windows user:

the users will need a user account in your AD, and they will need
permission to use TS (through a GPO or directly on the permissions
tab of the rdp-tcp connection). Since this is a W2K TS, they will
also need the user right to "Logon locally" to the TS.

Check thes links, you will probably want to apply some more TS-
specific settings, and then you might need an OU for the TS (not
for the clients or the users), to be able to use loopback
processing.
