Windows – Allow a user remote desktop access on Windows Server Essentials 2016

windowswindows-server-essentials

I have just installed Windows Server Essentials 2016 (I am be no means not a Windows expert) and I am trying to let a 'normal' user login onto the server using Remote Desktop.

I know the services and network are OK, because Administrator level users can login without any problem.

I have used the Server Manager to enable "Remote Desktop" and also added both a group and a user to access. Yet, when I try to login, I get the following message:

To sign in remotely, you need the right to sign in through Remote Desktop Services. [….] You need to grant this right manually.

I think I did that through the Server Manager, but apparently not. Where can I grant that right?

Best Answer

Add the user to the local “Remote Desktop Users” group on the server.
