If I configure and save the ntconfig.pol policy file on a stand alone terminal server, will users be authenticated only by the Terminal Server box they log into or does it authenticate to one of the DC's?

Hi,
Depend on two things -

Are your users logging on with a domain account, or an account local to the TS.

Is the TS also a DC.

If the account is a domain account, and the TS a dc then it will authenticate from it's own copy of the SAM. If the account is local, then again the TS will authenticate the user. Id the account is a domain account, and the TS is NOT a dc, then the TS will go through the usual discovery process and connect to the first answering DC. Hope this helps....
