The Computer Guy NJ: 2013

To connect to terminal server properly, users need to be granted the "Allow
logon through Terminal Services" right. If the server is a domain
controller, users also need to have "Allow logon locally" right. I
understand that you have checked the local access policy rights. Please
also check the group policies that are applied to the domain or OU as they
have higher priority and will override the configuration of local policy.

1. Logon as administrator, click Start -> Run, type "rsop.msc" in the text
box, and click OK.
2. Locate the [Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment] item.
3. Check the "Allow log on locally" item to see whether this policy is
defined. If so, the "Source GPO" column displays the policy that defines
this policy. Please ensure "Administrators", "Remote Desktop Users",
"Backup Operators", "Account Operators", "Print Operators", "Server
Operators" are granted this right. If it is different, please configure the
corresponding policy to grant the permission.
4. Check the "Allow log on through Terminal Services" item to see whether
this policy is defined. If so, the "Source GPO" column displays the policy
that defines this policy. Please ensure "Administrators", "Remote Desktop
Users", and any other desired users are granted this right. If it is
different, please configure the corresponding policy to grant the
permission.
5. Check the "Deny log on locally" item to see whether this policy is
defined. If so, the "Source GPO" column displays the policy that defines
this policy. Please ensure that the user or any user groups that remote
user belongs to is not included in this right. If so, please modify the
corresponding policy to remove them.
6. Check the "Deny log on through Terminal Services" item to see whether
this policy is defined. If so, the "Source GPO" column displays the policy
that defines this policy. Please ensure that the user or any user groups
that remote user belongs to is not included in this right. If so, please
modify the corresponding policy to remove them.
7. Click Start -> Run, type "cmd" in the text box, and click OK.
8. Run the following command to refresh policy on both the domain
controller and the terminal server:

Gpupdate /force

9. Wait for a while so that the group policy is replicated and then try to
connect to the server again.

List of anti-malware product removal tools

Forum contributor Kit Y created this list of anti-malware product removal tools for use on theMicrosoft Security Essentials answers forum. Other forum members maintain it.

This document is intended for assisting those using Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It is also used to assist users with Windows Defender (WD) on Windows 8. However, a removal tool is a removal tool.

Anti-malware / Anti-Virus products often are not removed completely or properly when using “Programs and Features” (or “Add/Remove Programs”). It is possible that various services and/or drivers will still be active or installed, and will cause conflicts when another anti-malware product is installed. Therefore, you may have to use the manufacturer’s cleanup or removal tool to insure proper removal before you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), or any other anti-malware product.

This document contains links to such tools. If your anti-malware product(s) are not listed, visit the support page of the manufacture to look for such a tool. Be advised that the link(s) provided below may change periodically. We will try to keep them current.

This list is not a complete or comprehensive list of all anti-malware removal products. The ones provided are frequently encountered on this forum. There are additional removal tools, and other lists:
