Try configuring:
Computer Configuration Windows Settings Security Settings User Rights Assignment Allow logon through Terminal Services (And possibly) Log on locally on the appropriate OU or just add the domain user in question to the "remote desktop users" group on the server. If you do this at the OU via Group Policy remember that you might be assigning broader rights than you intend to.

Hello all! I am encountering a problem when trying to connect to a remote server using the Windows XP Pro (SP2) Remote Desktop. The domain user keeps getting the following error: The remote connection has timed out. Please try connecting to the remote computer again. Now when I log on using an account with admin rights this does not happen which means that there seems to be a Group Policy setting being applied thus preventing normal users from connecting remotely. We have a Domain Group Policy in place but when checking the settings I cannot seem to find what particular GP setting/s is causing this. Could someone please help me troubleshoot this problem?
