Connecting a limited user to Windows server 2003 through LogMeIn

LogMeIn support can't help me, maybe someone here can.

I have a user on a Windows Server 2003 (non administrator). When I first created him and tried to connect through remote desktop I got the error 

The local policy of the system does not permit you to logon interactively.

I looked up the error and saw that this user was not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group. I added him to the group and was able to remote desktop in just fine. Then I tried to connect this user to the server through LogMeIn (Pro trial version). I got the same error as when the user was not a part of the Remote Desktop Users group.

Can anyone tell me any other groups the user must be a member of in order to be allowed access through LogMeIn? I would imagine this is a common requirement – LogMeIn support seemed to have no idea.

you must change this local policy (gpedit.msc) (or through GPO):

Computer \windows settings\ security settings \ local policies\ User Rights Assignements:

Allow log on locally

Add the user to the list of this right
