Not familiar with citrix, but we have several TS servers. And I have to say-we have the problem with RDP not working on WS03 servers a lot still. There is usually one somewhere when monthly patches require a reboot that will not come back. I always turn off RDP, reboot again, turn it back on, and it's golden.
When this problem happens, I've never seen the error message you are seeing of "the user cannot logon to the computer because your not in the Remote Desktop Users Group"-it simply doesn't respond to an RDP request for logon. So, assuming this is not a DC and you already took users out and put them back in the local remote desktop users group, has anything else changed with the security permissions on the HD of the server or in the registry recently? Maybe a chkdsk /f is in order? -B From: Benjamin Zachary - Lists [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 6:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: rdp / citrix error Right that's the odd thing even the administrator account cannot logon, not even the local administrator or the domain administrator.

Have had to turn off firewall on server and sometimes disable and re-enable RDP. As long as user is member of local admin he should be able to RDP to server by default.

I manually put my username in the allow logon to terminal services. Same error. In the event log I only see a security entry of logon and then logoff. Not sure where to go with it.

I don't have any links handy but a little google-fu should turn them up. There were a couple of hotfixes alleged to fix it that were met with mixed reactions. Susan Bradley spread it around a lot and I think our own MBS may have blogged about it, I know I've seen emails here from him on the subject From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 10:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: rdp / citrix error I get that error occasionally on some of my Citrix servers (neither RDP or ICA can log on, with that error) and a restart clears it. No idea why it happens. 2009/11/6 Benjamin Zachary - Lists <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> I have a metaframe 4 server that is responding with the user cannot logon to the computer because your not in the Remote Desktop Users Group. Even the admin account cannot logon, although I can logon locally. I went and checked that domain users and the admin acct are both in the group. I went into local security policy and that group is also there with administrators group. As a test I manually added the administrator account but that didn't seem to have any effect. I get the same error with RDP so this doesn't seem to be a citrix issue. Anyone else seen the RDP perms blow up? I guess I can recreate the connector ??? although I get to the login screen and am able to put credentials in. -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
