Remote Desktop Connection: Access Denied

  • 772

I have remote desktop connection enabled. I've added my self and the Administrator account. When I try to login remotely I get:

When I try logging to remote desktop via localhost I get access denied error. The same occurs when I try remotely, except it says "username or password is not correct"

The terminal server is running, I checked this in services.

I am using the exact same username/password combo for both the local and remote logins. I can log on the physical machine just fine using the password/username combos.

Any ideas?

  2. Try putting machinename\username or domainname\username as the login. This is also the same thing with Win7 that I have seen.
