Remote Desktop - Local guest user can deny remote Administrator access
Say I have remote desktop and the guest account enabled on a laptop that has been stolen.
If I were to be able to find the IP address and could try to initiate a remote desktop connection to the machine the local guest user could deny my connection.
Is there any reason why the guest account would have sufficient permission to deny an (or the only) admin on the machine?
If there's any kind of registry hack or whatever to circumvent this it would be greatly appreciated.
This is on Windows 7 x64... :\

Hi,
By default, the guest account doesn't have the permission to remote logon Windows operation system. If windows grant guest account with remote access permission, it will have big security issue.
Thanks and Regards
