Thanks in advance for all responses.

Could someone either respond to this post or point me to the right
page/article on the Microsoft Web site. I am administrating a Win2000
Server using a Terminal Services Client, and I need to set my Windows
User Accounts/Permissions properly for security reasons. If I take
the "Everyone" Windows User Account out of the equation, I can not use
the Terminal Services Client properly. Could someone let me know
exactly what Windows user accounts I need to have active in order to
use the Terminal Services Client properly.


Thanks,

Cdman
 
I'm not sure about the context of your question. Are you looking
at the security on the rdp-tcp connection, or the file system, or
the right to logon locally or ....?
In general, you cannot *delete* the Everyone entry from any Access
Control List without getting into trouble, but you can *replace*
it with a less wide entry, like Domain Users, Remote Desktop
Users, or even a single specific user account, if that is what you
want.
 
What errors do you receive when you take the everyone
group out of the equation? Where are you removing the
everyone group from?

Thanks for the Response!

I took the "Everyone" Group totally off of the File System, and when I
tried to open IIS it would not open. I am unsure as to what other
Applications I may have not been able to open, but when I put the
"Everyone" group back on the entire File System everything went back
to normal.

Yes, that is to be expected. Completely *deleting* the Everyone
Group from an ACL is normally *not* a good idea.
As I wrote, *replace* it with a group with a narrower membership
list.
