Has any information been found about this? I am having the very same trouble
with users getting "you do not have access to this session."

Good afternoon,
We are having a persistent issue with Remote Desktop at our company.
I have only recently been asked to help with this issue, but it has
been happening for around a year.
The symptoms are as follows:
A user locks their machine and later tries to remote in (either from
home or from within the same building/network)
They put in the computer name and click OK.
They reach the target machine and are prompted from their password.
They put in their password and click ok.
The dialogue box goes gray, as though it is about to proceed to the
Desktop.
The box stays gray for 10 seconds or so, and the just goes away. No
error message.
I see no events created in the Application or System logs while the
issue is occurring.
I do see an event in the Security log, stating that the login was
successful. (Success Audit for the users ID, event ID 528, and a
Success Audit 576 immediately afterword) The next event is a
successful logoff, event id 538.
If a user with Admin right remotes to the machine, they are able to
force the original user off.
Once that is done the original user can remote in successfully.
All machines are running Windows XP SP3 with updates applied monthly..
We have had the same issue with both NVidia and ATI Video cards.
Some machines are running multiple displays, some have a single
monitor.
All machines are Dells, Including GX270s, GX280s, GX620s and GX745s.
All machine have at least 2 gigs of RAM.
We have tried adding the problem user to the Administrator group,
which had no effect.
We have tried setting the TS and RDP services on the target machine to
Restart after first failure, which had no effect.
We have monitored the machines resourse utilization. The machines are
not running out of memory or processor.
Some of these machines have 4 gigs of RAM. They still have the issue.
We have had some success with having the users close some of their
more memory intensive application before they leave. Although this
does seem to work, it is really just a workaround. We would like to
discover the root cause and deliver a solid fix.
Please let me know if there is any other information that I could post
to provide more data.
I appreciate any help that anyone can provide! (especially you Vera :)
Hi Vera, Thanks for responding.
Question 1) We are running Windows XP SP2. No one here is on SP3.
(sorry for the typo
Question 2) We have seen this issue on both 5.x clients and 6.0
clients.Some of the machines have 5.x, some have 6.0.
Question 3) I have not been able to test whether or not unlocking the
workstation locally would then allow the user to get in. The issue is
imtermittent. (of course we don't hear from them if it works).
The users are sometimes on the road (coming in through either Citrix
or SSLVPN) somtimes in the same building, and sometimes at one of our
branch offices, which are WAN connected. It doesn' appear to matter
what version of the client or where you are connecting from.
Question 4) I have not thought to test this.I am sure I can have a
user or two excluded from our domain policy for testing . I can try
one user with no password and one with no screensaver.
Thanks again for you help.
I will try your suggestions.
Please post any other thoughts you may have.
I will post the results the screensaver/password tests.- Hide quoted text -

Vera, FYI, a user called me this morning and was experiencing the
issue. I killed the screensaver remotely, so the machine was still
locked, but the screensaver was no longer active. He still could not
get in.
As stated previously, he gets these events in this order.
Event ID 528 (successful logon) ->
Event ID 576 (Special priviledges assigned to new logon)
Event ID 682 (Session reconnected to winstation)
Event ID 538 (User logoff)
I am working on getting the screensaver policy temporarily removed
from one of the users.
If that does resolve the issue then what is next? Obviously I can't
leave the user out of our screensave policy for security reasons.- Hide quoted text -

I am still waiting for results from my test of the screensaver
password theory. Anything esle anyone could add would be appreciated.- Hide quoted text -

The No Screensaver setting had no effect.
