Is your firewall setup to allow access to RDP, and is the user in question a member of the correct groups in Active Directory?

Yes RDP is allowed and members are in correct groups. My question is how would we setup from remote PC running windows XP Pro and Windows vista and windows 7. Thanks
So what happens if you attempt to remote into the box now, and how are you attempting to get to the server, by IP, or some other means?
So, you have port forwarding setup to forward all RDP information from an external IP address to the Windows 2008 server's internal IP address right?
If you have this config setup then from the remote PC you would only need to type the external IP address into RDP then connect.

i can access the server remotly using remote desktop application, and if I access the server using user details then I can still access the server, but that means accessing the server using user details not logodon to server as user. I hope you understand what I am syaing. I want to setup user on their home computer so they can logon to network as they do when they are at work. when they logon at work place they have their own desktop and drives, application.
accessing server remotley is no issue as an administrator or user. i am accessing the server using remote desktop from windows 7 by adding the public ip address
wait for your reply

So, you want the user to connect to their computer? You would need to setup port forwarding for their Workstation or you can setup a roaming user profile so when they logon to the server then will get their profile the problem is this will be a performance hit to them.
So, the easiet way is to use a remote software like logmein.com which is free.
Or port forward to their local workstation.

Ok, what you want is to have the user see their own desktop? If so you need to NAT a public IP to that users PC's internal static IP, then they can connect using that public IP direct to their desktop and use all the features therein.
Darisu is correct the easiest way would be to use something like logmein.com, just remember not matter what solution you go with if it has the user connecting to their desktop, and not a roaming profile, you will need to make sue that the desktop is set up with a static IP address.

Many Thanks to all.
What I am trying to do is like we did in windows 2000 or NT when we had ISDN lines those days. they way I would setup the connection is to creat a dialup connection and in their put the telephone number which was on the other end connected to the server for dial in access. in usere name I use to put user name, then password, then logon to Domain name. so when user startsup their PC or laptop from home or remote office they would get the option to logon to their PC or use dialup to logon remotley and once they logon remotley they would then access their work place as exactly the same as they were working in the office.
I hope this will help what I am trying to say or achieve

When the users VPN into the system they will not get their desktop until they RDP into their local workstation which adds steps.
Here are steps.
