  2. Windows 10 Remote Desktop - The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote logon

    Hi Bill,

    I would suggest you to check the suggestions provided in the section "Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?" in this article:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remote-desktop-connection-faq#1TC=windows-8

    Note: Though this article is for Windows 8.1, the steps mentioned are similar in Windows 10.

    The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized. Windows Server 2012

    I am trying to use Remote Desktop to another PC on our domain. If I use an administrators account this works fine, however when I use a normal user it gives the error:

    As per these questions I have:

    • Set "Allow Log on through Remote Desktop Services" (adding the Remote Desktop Users group).
    • Added the user to the remote desktop services group
    • Set "Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services"
    • Done gpupdate /force several times on the RD host machine

    If I go in to Remote Settings > Select Users on RD host and add the domain user "walter.white" that user can then login to the machine from the other PC.

    I don't want to have to do that on every machine. I want to set it by GP object which I thought would be "Allow Log on through Remote Desktop Services" - as you can see above this group doesn't appear in this dialog (and I guess is the cause of the issue).

    I know the GP has taken effect as if run "secpol.msc" and look at "Allow logon through Remote Desktop Services", I do see Remote Desktop Services (as well as Walter White which I added to the GP object).

    Remote Desktop from Win10 to Win7

    So here's my Remote Desktop Probelm. I frequently need to use RDP to connect to a Windows box at work.

    On my Mac, I use FortiClient 5.4 to establish a VPN connection, and then I use Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 to connect. No problems.

    • I can connect to my box (Running Windows 7 Enterprise). No problem.
    • I can connect to another box (on the same subnet) (Running Windows
      Server 2012). No problem.

    However, when I'm doing work stuff, I generally boot into Windows 10 on my Mac (via Bootcamp). Then I follow the same steps. I establish a VPN connection with FortiClient 5.4, and then use Remote Desktop, to connect. But there's a problem:

    • I cannot connect to my box (Running Windows 7 Enterprise). I get a
      message "The connection was denied because the user account is not
      authorized for remote login" (even though I'm using the same user
      account/credentials)
    • Meanwhile, I can connect to another box (using the same user account,
      on the same subnet) (Running Windows Server 2012)

    In summary:

    • RDP from OSX to Win7 = No Problem
    • RDP from OSX to WinServer2012 = No Problem
    • RDP from Win10 (via Bootcamp) to WinServer2012 = No Problem
    • RDP from Win10 (via Bootcamp) to Win7 = PROBLEM. Error message: "The
      connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for
      remote login"

    My user account grants me access to both these boxes (as demonstrated when I connect from within OSX).

    Based on this… it SEEMS like it might have something to do with connecting to Win 7 from Win 10? Can anyone shed any light on this?
