MS Terminal Server no Login over VPN, local OK

Hello,

I have a problem with a MS Terminal Server 2008 Std. 64 Bit.

From any Client, which is a domainmember, I can login as a user to this Terminal Server.

When I try to login from a XP SP3 client, which is not a member in this domain, then I got the Message, that the useraccount was not allow to login on Terminalserver.

But when I use the same useraccount from a local LAN Domainmember PC to login to this server, then it was running without any Messages.

The User is in the group "Remote Desktop Users" and in the local Policy of the Terminal Server the user was "allow login through Terminal Services"

Any Idea?

With friendly regards

You are telling like SOMECOMPUTER\JohnSmith user is the same as DOMAIN\JohnSmith user? Nope, they are not the same, and credentials of SOMECOMPUTER\JohnSmith are not stored in AD domain.
Might this be a reason for your problem?

I use local and over vpn DOMAIN\JohnSmith.

with the local client login was OK, remote client get an error.

For non-domain connections you need to "Allow log on through Terminal Services" for that user.
On SERVER edit Group Policy: Servers and add that user (or Remote Desktop Users group) to "Allow log on through Terminal Services"
