Our network consists of two Win2k Server DC's, with several other Win2k3 servers. I cannot find where I can configure terminal services access within the GPO for the user in question. In Win2k3 server, it is \Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment. Is there an equivalent in Win2k GPO?

I receive the following error message when I attempt to log on to a Win2k3 server with the username in question:

To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop users group have these permissions. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users Ggroup or another group that has these permissions, or if the Remote Dektop User group does not have these permissions, you must be granted these permissions manually.

The only solution that I have found is that I need to add said user to the local Remote Desktop User group on each server that they need access to. Is there not a way to globally grant access?
