Terminal Server User Access problem

[CarlGuy]

I have several Windows 2003 servers running as terminal servers. As near as I can determine, all are configured the same way. All have been running successfully for at least a couple of months (some longer). Today, we started getting the message:

"To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have these permissions. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users Group or another group that has these permissions, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have these permissions, you must be granted these permissions manually."

I've been all over this server, comparing to two others. "Allow logon through Terminal Services" has everyone listed. The Remote Desktop Users group is populated as well. I haven't found anything at Microsoft that covers this. Logon fails with both RDP from Windows XP workstation and the older mstsc client from Windows 2000 workstation.

Anyone have any ideas?

Take look at the local Remote Desktop Users group on the trouble TS's. Add domain users to this local group and try connecting to it again.

Thanks, but I did that already.

Did you check the RDP-tcp properties under the security tab and make sure Remote Desktop Users still has permissions on the connector?

Yes, I did and they do.
