Domain user remotely access his desktop via RDP

Hi

How can I let a domain user “John Allen” from his home to access his desktop (WS-A) at work via RDP.

First he would access his work network ( environment Active Directory 2003
) via VPN and then how can I let him to access his desktop (not the server) at work via RDP ??

Could someone post step by step how should I configure that ? Is it through server local policy (gpedit.msc) or domain policy (gpmc.msc ) or something else ? I have got only one server which is AD as well

Remote Desktop is enabled on WS-A.

I tried to google for it by using this key :

“ add user to remote desktop groups Active Directory “ but I could not get what I am looking for :
