Send Message - Admin Rights

[JohnB]

Our users work exclusively through RDP. For some reason a handful of users
were given local admin rights, so that they could send each other messages
using Task Manager.

I found this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786099.aspx

Which says "You must have Message permission in order to send messages".
And I looked at what rights Remote Desktop Users has, and it includes the
Send Message right. But... our users that don't have local admin rights
still can't send a message using this
method.
Can anyone else use this Send Message option, without having local admin
rights?

TIA

Re: Send Message - Admin Rights

What is the Windows version of Terminal Services are you running?
by default i believe post Win2k3 Remote Desktop Users do not have send
message permissions. You can set the permissions with tscc.msc (or
tsconfig.msc in win2k8)->Permissions tab
Thanks

Re: Send Message - Admin Rights

Win2k3.
I just found it. I hadn't gone far enough..... I just looked on the
Advanced tab, and Message was unchecked.

Thanks
