2008r2 RDS server /Admin mode functionality not the same as local admin

-

on 2008r2 rds server in 2003 domain when use mstsc /admin /v:servername command login not have same functionality local admin perspective when logon to the server local admin id local machine. ( no domain creds @ all) no gpo's restrict access , domain account part of local administrators group.

     on 2003 ts servers /console switch allows me view server properties, map drives, , add context menus can't under 2008r2. there kind of odd sub-switch need add /admin full access?

thanks help, leednc

 



hi,

you can read differences between /console 2003 and  /admin 2008 in msdn blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2007/12/17/changes-to-remote-administration-in-windows-server-2008.aspx

basicially:

"...in windows server 2003, can start rdc client (mstsc.exe) /console switch remotely connect physical console session on server (also known session 0). in windows server 2008, /console switch has been deprecated..."

"...if (as member of administrators group on destination server) start remote desktop session windows server 2008-based server has terminal server role service installed, must specify /admin switch connect session remotely administer server. following behavior true session:

•       not need ts cal connect remotely administer terminal server.
 
•       time zone redirection disabled.
 
•       terminal services session broker (ts session broker) redirection disabled.
 
•       plug , play device redirection disabled.
 
•       remote session theme changed windows classic.
 
•       terminal services easy print disabled..."

from i've read seems gpo's applied administrator accounts. set security options of gpo onyl apply specific group, or exclude administrators policy forcing explicit deny.

how prevent domain group policies applying user or computer accounts: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816100
