Hi all,

As above, I am trying to create a local user on a Windows Server 2008 Standard box, its for an auditor to RDP in, however, he is only allowed access to a single application/server running on this box and nothing else.

Whats the best way to lock this user right down so he/she is only able to access this application?

It's not running as a domain, just a Standard Server 2008 box, its only a small business.
 
I am looking through the user account settings now, as I am sure there is a way to load an application when the user logs in through RDP, and thats it, not else will load (Default Programme or something)
 
Don't worry, got it working :)

Just used launch programme at login on the user account properties, then created a mapped network drive to the application on the users account.
