Connection was denied because the user account is not authorised for remote log in
Hi... I've checked those... and the user is part of "Remote Desktop Users" and also the that group is included in "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services".... I've re-added it but didn't help...
Looks like the issue is not with this part.... but the issue is that the users disappears from "User Accounts" almost every 30mins-1hr.... Only when I am connected to the VM as that user, it stays there.... but after I disconnect, it will disappear after a while
UPDATE: so it disappear even when I'm connected to VM.... but I can still be logged in... After I disconnect, I need to add the user back to "User Accounts". Also, when I add the user as "User", I get the same error message... If I add it as "Administrator", I can connect.
MiSum83 It sounds like you indeed are fixing the issue (by adding the user to the Remote Desktop Users group), but there is a Group Policy managing this group via Restricted Groups and the accounts are removed when the policy refreshes.
Use Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) on the server to find the policies applied, I suspect you will find a policy that contains restricted groups. It could possibly be applied in Group Policy Preferences as well, as that can also be set to remove members from a group.
