How to Allow Interactive & Remote Logon to Domain Controllers in Windows Server 2008? Need Help!!!

[Claptone]

Hello

I have Terminal Service installed on my dedicated server and created some user account to allow Remote Desktop

I have tried to test the remote connection with these users but I face this Message as below

"To log on to this remote computer you must be granted allow log on through terminal services"

What am I missing here ?? I am really in need of your expert advice
