Windows server 2012 R2 Domain accounts can not Remote desktop

Hello. I just added my first windows server 2012 r2 into my network. I allowed remote connections but can only use the local admin account to connect. It will not accept any domain accounts. I did join the server to the domain. I also added the domain admin accounts to the remote desktop local groups and also the administrators local group. When I try to RDP into it, it does not allow. I can however use the local admin account of the server.

What also is strange. When I use the HP lights out remote console, I am able to login using the domain admin accounts. Looks like it is a remote desktop issue.

Thank you

Could you check the local GPO and see which user/group is "allowed logon through terminal services"? Sounds like the only user allowed through that method is the local admin.

I wonder if you have set up licensing

Can you please check your machine's date and time and remote server's date and time which you want to take RDP.

Not sure when but if the server is DC it only allows to log in into RDP if user is added in the GPO section (not in the System porperties window). So add it in GPO. The policy is called: Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services.
