Another question on folder redirction

This is has not been implemented for users yet, I am still testing with my
account.
Didn't think of this beforehand but, I have different Desktop
icons/shortcuts on different servers that I RDP into. And of course now all
of those have been combined, so that whatever I had on the Desktop of each
server, is on my XP machine, and whatever was on my XP machine is now on the
servers when I RDP in. Not a huge problem. I guess I could create a
separate account to be used only when I RDP, to get around this.

But, eventually everyone will get Folder Redirection. And some of the other
users RDP into servers.
I did some research on this. It looks like I need to do loopback
processing?
The problem is, this company has users remoting into not only member severs,
but also DC's. I know, bad idea. Hard to change since they are accessing a
couple applications installed on one of the DCs (small company).

So in this case, where do I apply the loopback processing?

Hello JohnB,

As you already said, domain users should NEVER logon to a DC and also a DC
should NEVER be used for Terminal services, even if the company is small.

Loopback processing you have to enable when logons are in place to a Terminal
server and you also have the same users working on 'normal' computers.

I understand, totally. But I would be very hard pressed to talk management
into buying another server, so that they didn't have to login to a DC, when
they have been doing it like this for 7 years (not my doing) with no
problems.


Thanks
