Remote Desktop Connection to Win Server 2003 Enterprise

I have the server setup as the Domain Controller. When trying to connect to
it from a laptop running XP Pro SP3, I can connect with an Administrators
account but not a standard user even though they are in Remote Desktop Users
group and I added them to Print Operators group, so they had local login
rights. Is this because it's a DC or is there something I'm missing? I
did edit the default Group Policy to allow remote desktop connections.

The message that pops up says I need to be in the Remote Desktop Users group
and have local login rights to the server but I've already set this.

I just replied to your post in microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely.
Please keep the same post.

Hello Danny C.,

Just to get you correct the account is in the "DOMAIN remote desktop users"
group? And you configure/link a GPO in the DC's OU or use the Default domain
controllers policy?

Best regards

The account is in the Remote Desktop Users on the server in AD. I used the
default group policy on the server.
