Remote Command Security

Security is provided in two ways:

• The logged-on user must have interactive logon privileges on the target computer in order to connect to it.
• Any programs executed on the target computer are executed impersonating the logged-on user. Any access validation (such as opening files) is performed as if the user were logged on to the local computer.

Note

All Windows 2000 Professional users have interactive logon privileges by default. Anyone who can locally log on to your system can transparently access it over the network, unless you configure it otherwise. For Windows 2000 Server, however, only system administrators have this privilege.
