When I connect to an XP Pro machine that allows Remote Desktop, I use one of
the local accounts on that machine (at least the ones that have permission to
use RD). The problem arises when I try to connect to a machine in that
network that is a domain. Since the account in this domain is a roaming
profile, it only physically exists on the domain controller. Clearly, I do
not want domain users to connect to the DC and run their applications on the
DC! What is the solution for this? Do I have to pick a machine and create an
equivalent local user account there? But if I do that, then the user is local
not domain. Therefore as such, this user while using RD cannot access files
that have been permitted to its domain counterpart.
