I my lab, i get the following error when logginf in from my client:

To log in to this remote computer, you must have the permission 'Log on via Terminal
Allow server '. By default, the users of the group have External
desktop users this permission. If you are not a member of this group, or of any other group with
these permissions, or if the External Desktop Users group does not have these permissions,
you must obtain this permission manually

As far as can see, there hasnt been an accidentaky enabeling for terminal server or remote desktop. Anyone who can help me with this? Only the admin can login at the client
Thank you

    Hi,
    There are two places that you could have a check.

    1. Log on to the server and open control panel--> systems-->allow remote settings

    Kindly verify if the problematic user accounts have been added in to the remote user group highlighted below and test by manually adding again.

    2.Kindly check the GPO "Allow Logon through Terminal Services" under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment of the target machine that you would like to remote.
