i cannot get remote users to login

hey guys
how do i
do this below
"you must add the non-administrative users to the local group 'Remote Desktop Users'. This way there are allowed to logon to the server via a RDP connenction."
its for a user that cannot login via rdp to a windows 2003 server

Well, assuming that this is a STANDARD Server 2003 and it is not a Domain Controller, and you haven't configured the Terminal Services role on it... then all you need to do is open the Local User Management Console (START > Run... > lusrmgr.msc).  Expand Groups, and the open Remote Desktop Users and add the user's DOMAIN account to the group as "DOMAIN\UserName".

(Alternatively you can right click on My Computer > Properties > Remote > Select Remote Users... > Add... and then add the user's Domain Account here instead... these both do the same thing, just different ways to get there).

or hit the security policy

start - run - gpedit.msc

windows settings - security settings - local policies - user rights assignement - allow logon through terminal services

make sure your user is in there
