samba:allow-rdc

Allow Remote Desktop connection to a group of users

This is what works for me:

This may or may not work for you but this is what I have in the “Allow RDC GPO”:

  • Using ADUC, create a Remote Desktop users group (I named it RDU) (remember to assign a guiNumber of using 'ad' idmap backend)
  • Computer configuration / Policies / Windows settings / Security settings / Restricted Groups/ → Add RDU to “BUILTIN\Remote Desktop Users” and also add RDU to “Remote Desktop Users“
  • Computer configuration / Policies / Windows settings / Security settings / Windows Firewall →Allow inbound port 3389 (may not be needed)
  • Computer configuration / Policies / Administrative templates / Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Connections → Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services -  Enabled
  • Computer configuration / Policies / Administrative templates / Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Connections → Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication - enable

I think that’s it. Let me know how you get on, and if there’s any item not needed.
