Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.setup (
More info?)
I believe that we are misunderstanding each other.
If your users only need to access some data files, like Word
documents, then they can simply connect to the shared folder from
their workstation.
But I guess they need to run an application on the server, which in
its turn accesses the data files, is that what you mean?
If I were you, I would completely rethink my setup. This is not
going to be a secure solution, because you will have to give your
users the right to log on locally on your Domain Controller.
You can try to secure it with NTFS permissions on the file system
of the server, but even then, it's not a secure setup.
