    Using Windows Server 2012 R2, I want a non-admin user to be able to connect to the server via RDP. I found this and added a test non-admin user to the list, however, it still says it mustn't connect due to insufficient privileges. Any solution?

    Thank you! However, this was already activated, as I can connect with an admin account anytime.

    Open Server Manager. Click Tool in the right corner of Server Manager and then select Computer Management. In the Computer Management windows, expand Local Users and Groups and select Groups. Double click on Administrators group. You will find the Remote Desktop users group.
