Hi ,
when trying to log into Windows server 2003 i get following error
"To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have these permissions. If you are no a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that has these permissions, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have these permissions, you must be granted these permissions manually."
I have read through the articles here but that all sems not to be working.
I definatly have licences installed on that server.

>> added the Server to the Domain Controller.
Does this mean the server has been promoted as DC or moved to OU "Domain Controllers"?
In that case 'Default Domain Controller' by default restricts the user right to only allow Administrators without allowing RemoteDesktopUsers group.
The policy affects all DCs and the domain's RDU-group is shared between all DCs. Modifying GPO to allow non-admins to logon to DCs isn't recommended as it will lower the security in domain when others than admins can get access to servers acting as logon server.
As combination to the user right that allows logging on, you also have a 'Deny log on through Terminal Services' right and deny will always override allow if a conflict occur.
The reason for the problem with not granted to logon through TS is the user rights assignment on server side.
As it's not member of domain, it will only have its local policy and no domain based GPOs. When you installed the DC role, system applied a security template that raised the security and got the DC-setting that only administrators shall have right to logon to server.
If single DC has died, you nead to restore system state from backup of old server and also do a authorative restore with ntdsutil.
If you can't restore the system state and AD, you sadly nead to rebuild the domain.
Just setting it up to have same domain name will not be the same thing as new domain in background get a new SID which is unique and not the same thing as the old domain (similar scenario as when re-creating a deleted user/group).

Verify the user is in added to the remote desktop users group on the server.
reset the local policy
Please reset the "Allow log on through Terminal Services"
(SeRemoteInteractiveLogonR
mean is to remove the RDU from the policy, run gpupdate,
set the policy to undefined, run gpupdate, change the policy
at the local level with secpol.msc (remove/re-add RDU),
add RDU back to the GPO, enforce the policy again,
run gpupdate. In between some of the above changes
you may want to test to see if the logon problem is resolved.
