HI, thanks for taking the time to reply. The article on Google Groups was
very useful but I can't find the group policy setting shown below:

----------------------
Then to actually force RDP to be enabled on a Windows XP Professional
Machine
(Disabled by default) you must set the following policy to "DISABLED"

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows
Components\Terminal
Services\Do Not Allow New Client Connections.
--------------------------------------------------------

I am using the Group Policy Management console on Windows XP SP2 to
administer my domain's group policies. Can you think why this setting is
missing?

Any help is much appreciated.

All the best,
Steven.
