Question : SBS2008 Domain - Adding Win2003 Terminal Server

Everything is up and working but I cannot get a non-administrative user to logon. The warning: "To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through Terminal Services right."

I must run TS on the Win2003 box and the License Server is also the WIN2003 box. This was an existing Terminal Server in an SBS2003 Domain in which was forklift upgraded to SBS2008. The Second OS license was used to add a third server for MSSQL2008. I have added an group policy to assign this right to a specific Security Group and then added the specific users to the same group as members. gpupdate /force takes a minute to process and then try again, same warning. This is a three server network with the SBS/DC, TS and SQL. No rocket science, what have I missed?

I can log on to the TS box as an admin type user and everything runs fine with no exceptions. I just need to allow the hand full of users to do the same with User permissions.

Answer : SBS2008 Domain - Adding Win2003 Terminal Server

this might simply be a case of them not existing in the rdp server security properties...

admin tools > terminal services configuration
right-click default-rdp, properties, security.
you can add users right there if you want, give them at least the bottom two checkmarks
or you could add a domain security group there, and then add the users thru active directory to that group.

while in those security settings there, glance around and see if any 'deny' entries didnt sneak in...
