Remote Desktop to a non domain controller

  • I installed a new 2003 server to be a dedicated SQL box. I was able to remote desktop in to it.

    I then had it join a domain. Now I get an error message...."you must granted the allow logon through terminal services right.

    I get this error while loggin in with local admin or domain admin. I can remote in on other servers in the domain that are domain controllers.

    What am I missing?

  • If I am not wrong, there are two groups for Remote Desktop Users i.e. 'Local Group' & 'Domain Group'. Please check if your user account is included in 'Domain Group'. If not, add it. It should work.

    Different OS, Different Steps... Add users to the Remote Desktop Users group

  • do you have any group policies which applied once the server was in the domain?

    it seems like for some reason the accounts are no longer part of the admin group or remote desktop users group of the server as Dev advised above.

    can you go to the physical box and login as administrator and add in the accounts again

  • Thanks, I had to go to the local group Remote Desktop Users and add the administrator.
