If the server is a 2003 Member Server, then the only things required for RDP
Logon are:

1. Member of the local Remote Desktop User's Group, or a group with User &
Guest Permissions to the RDP-Tcp connection.
2. An activated 2003 TSLS that can be located by the 2003 TS.
3. TSCALs registered on the TSLS that are the same kind (per-user or per
device) as the licensing mode of the TS.

Users do NOT require the logon locally right for 2003 TS, except when the TS
is also a DC. If your TS is a 2003 Member Server and you altered the Default
Domain Controllers Policy to allow Domain Users to logon locally, all you've
done is lessened the security on your DCs. The logon locally right in 2003
Member Servers allows users to logon to the Console of the server.

Check the event log on the TS for errors when users logon via RDP and get
denied access to logon.
