You need to be part of the Administrators group or the "Remote Desktop
Users Group" to login through RDC. There is a local security policy
object to give rights to this. It is under Local Policies -> User
Rights Assignment -> Allow Logon Through Terminal Services. If you
are a User you can login to the console of the machine, but not
through RDC.
Just because you can log in locally, does not give you the rights to
do so through RDC.
