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
