Remote desktop connection

I have a business owner that needs Remote Desktop to his Windows 2008 R2 server. I created the Remote Desktop Session Host in the server, but when I tried to add him as a remote user I got an error:
Windows cannot process the object with the name "(username)" because of the following error: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Do I need to create an Active Directory Domain Services group to make this work?

I'm back at the site today & trying to make Remote Desktop work. I removed the Session Host. When I go to the Remote Desktop Services Manager & try to add a user, I browser to the computer to add but get the error " The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." That computer is currently logged onto the local network.
