Windows NT 4.0-Based Computer Running Terminal Server Does Not Receive User Properties from the Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller

This article was previously published under Q281568
SYMPTOMS
When you use a Windows NT 4.0-based computer that is running Terminal Server, the computer may not receive Terminal Server user properties from a Windows Server 2003 domain controller. For example, a user may log on and not receive their Terminal Server profile or Terminal Server Home Directory as specified in Active Directory Users And Computers.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Windows NT 4.0-based computer that is running Terminal Server attempts to retrieve user information from the Windows Server 2003 domain controller by using a null session (anonymous). Because Windows Server 2003 does not place Anonymous in the Everyone group, Terminal Server does not have permissions to get the information.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, ensure that "Anonymous Logon" is in the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group on the Windows Server 2003 domain controller. Both "Anonymous Logon" and "Everyone" need to be in this group to allow backward compatibility with non-Windows Server computers.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. Anonymous access is removed by default from the Everyone group in Windows 2000.

We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business.
