Starting with Build 2168 of Windows 2000, after a clean install the MSADC virtual root will default to "access denied" for all IP addresses and Domain Names. This means that, on clean installs, no computers will be able to connect to the MSADC vroot on these computers and, therefore, all RDS applications will not work until the steps below are taken. Please note that if you upgrade to build 2168 or greater of Windows 2000 from a Windows NT 4.0 machine or an earlier build of Windows 2000, the current settings for MSADC vroot will be preserved and the steps below are unnecessary.
