Homegroup and Remote Desktop
My homegroup is setup properly. I can access files and all that stuff. What I'd like to be able to do is use homegroup security to allow Remote Desktoping into my PC on the LAN.
I go to the Remote Desktop settings from Computer Properties. I have a user account set to allow RD in. I wanted to add the HomeUsers group as well, but it isn't listed. Additionally typing it in doesn't work either. Tells me not a valid user/group (though it does exist on my system). I then add the HomeGroupUser$ user instead.
Doesn't work. I have to provide credentials in line with the actual account on the PC I'm remoting in to. Is this how it's supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Does anyone know of a technical article on Home Groups somewhere for system administrators to read? From what I can, pretty much the meat of it is a hidden user account called "HomeUserGroup$" and a not hidden group called "Home Users". Pretty much all 7 does is if a connecting computer is a part of the homegroup, it substitutes the connecting account's information with the HomeUserGroup$ account.
