I get an Incorrect username and password error when trying to RDP into Server 2008

I just did a clean install of server 2008 x64 bit version. I installed 10 Terminal Services licenses. When I try to connect to the server via Remote Desktop I get an error that says incorrect username and password. I know for sure that the username and password is correct. I have tried disabling the firewall, logging in as administrator through rdp, but still no luck. I have also tried from other computers with the same result. I am not too familiar with Server 2008, but I assumed Terminal services would work since it is straight out of the box.

Did you enable the users in A/D for terminal services?

Yes I did. The administrator also has all of these enabled. they are also members of the remote desktop users group

Tigermatt is correct, if you arn't putting in the domain name it could be giving you the issues.

I have been killing myself over the weekend for this ridiculous issue. I had no idea. You actually have to put your complete domain including the .local
Thanks for all your help
