Mike Hi Thanks for the reply.

I added Admin and Administrator to the group policy for Remote Access and I
still cant get access, although the screen comes up with a logon dialogue
box.

Strange - when I activate the Remote Desktop Terminal from the server, I get
the same message, 'you do not have access to logon to this session'

The server is behind a firewall for the LAN connection does not have a
firewall enabled. I would have thought I just wouldn't make a connection
screen if the firewall was a problem.

The policy troubleshooter is the exact opposite of my problem, I can logon
to the console fine, juts not through Remote Desktop...

***pulling hair out***

Any other ideas please - Cheers
Jerry
