Local accounts can't access Remote Desktop, file sharing service, and remote management

2024-12-13Last updated

When the Remote Desktop service, Remote management, or File sharing service options are turned on in the SV Control Panel, local accounts still can't access the features.

This behavior applies to Windows Server products that have SV Control Panel 3.0 and later:

  • Streamvault™ SV-1000E series
  • Streamvault™ SV-2000E series
  • Streamvault™ SV-4000EX series
  • Streamvault™ SV-7000EX series

By default, Remote Desktop service, Remote management, and File sharing service are disabled for the local administrator and local accounts, such as Operator. With previous versions of the SV Control Panel, the local administrator and local accounts all got access to these features when they were turned on. As of SV Control Panel 3.0, only the local administrator is given access when the features are turned on.

This new behavior is controlled through the Deny access to this computer from the network security policy and complies with Microsoft's security baseline for Windows Server.
