Server access question

scj6771 · 09-26-2007, 11:28 AM

We have an employee who we would like to give remote access to only one of our servers without giving him any rights to "screw" things up. now we currently use several products like NetMeeting, Remote Desktop (Microsoft) and DameWare to remote into other desktops to fix any issues but I do not believe you can limit the user who connects to these desktops to certain rights.

I guess what I am saying is would it be possible for this guy to log into the server remotely and restrict what he can do? Our servers are logged in as an administrator so I am assuming he will have access to do whatever he wants?

I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your time.

I would recommend creating another account with limited rights and then allow him to log in using RemoteDesktop. if i get what your saying the problem lies in the server i don't think you can restrict rights on a clients side.
