This server does not belong to us. We were given temporary access to it in order to view a demo on it via Remote Desktop. The problem cropped up when one of our users tried to access it via Remote Desktop. However when I tried accessing it using my normal account because I am a system admin, I

Only thing I can think of is that your account's username and password matches an account on the server then. Maybe when they set it up, they added a user for you, but not anyone else? 2009/7/28 Pierre Camilleri pierre.camill...@fosterclark.com This server does not belong to us. We were given
