Deny log on through Remote Desktop ServicesID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:81468 | Date: (C)2022-06-14 (M)2023-07-31 |
Class: COMPLIANCE | Family: windows |
This security setting determines which users and groups are prohibited from logging on as a Remote Desktop Services client.
Default: None.
Important
This setting does not have any effect on Windows 2000 computers that have not been updated to Service Pack 2.
Counter Measure:
Assign the Deny log on through Terminal Services logon right to the built-in local Administrator account and all service accounts. If you have installed optional components such as ASP.NET, you may want to assign this logon right to additional accounts that are required by those components.
Potential Impact:
If you assign the Deny log on through Terminal Services user right to other groups, you could limit the abilities of users who are assigned to specific administrative roles in your environment. Accounts that have this user right will be unable to connect to the computer through either Terminal Services or Remote Assistance. You should confirm that delegated tasks will not be negatively impacted.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services
(2) REG: ###
(3) WMI: root\rsop\computer#RSOP_UserPrivilegeRight#AccountList#UserRight=SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight and precedence=1
