Adding a New User in Windows Server 2008
If you would like to give another user Remote Desktop access to your Windows Server 2008 VPS or Dedicated server, you will need to create a local user. Here is how you would do this:
- Login to your server with the Administrator account.
- Open up the “Server Management” tool by right clicking on “Computer” and then clicking on “Manage”.
- Expand the “Configuration” tab and then expand the “Local Users and Groups” tab.
- Right click on “Users” and click “New User…”
- Enter the user name that you would like to create in the “User name:” field.
- Make sure that you uncheck “User must change password at next logon” and make sure that you check both “User cannot change password” and “Password never expires”.
- Once you click create, this user will be added.
