rdp not working vs a win 7 virtual desktop
Client is Win XP SP3 and its browser is updated IE 8.
Connecting to a Win 7 32bit virtual desktop.
Spice is ok, but rdp not.
First time asked to install an activex plugin for rdp
But then following instructions double click doesn't raise any rdp window...
Guest has tools installed

RDP, unlike SPICE/VNC is a direct connection to the VM. If the VM has RDP closed (you need to open it, preferrably in the template before you sysprep it, so all the new VMs will have RDP enabled), or there is no access to port 3389 of the guest, RDP will not work.
I presume I have to preconfigure this way the win 7 vm candidate to become a template for a pool if I want then to allow rdp access, correct? Is this customization retained during sysprep?
Correct
And I have to put my users inside remote access list too
You can create a group, and add the group to the access list. Then modify the group in AD
