I can Remote Desktop any PC under our domain, except this ONE! When I try to RDC this one PC, I get an error of:
Connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote logon
I have Domain Admin Credentials, so what would be keeping me from being able to RDC this 1 PC?

Unable To RDC One PC
I can Remote Desktop any PC under our domain, except this ONE! When I try to RDC this one PC, I get an error of:
Connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote logon
I have Domain Admin Credentials, so what would be keeping me from being able to RDC this 1 PC?
A few items to consider for a solution to this problem. . .
- Ensure the PC is joined to the correct domain for the administrator account you're RDP'ing into it as.
- Unjoin the PC from the domain, reboot it, rejoin it to the domain, reboot it again, and then try to RDP into it again.
- Ensure there is no local (or domain) group policies that are explicitly denying access for this account to RDP into this machine.
- Add the account to the Windows local security group named Remote Desktop Usersand try again.
- Add a different non-domain admin test account to the local Remote Desktop Users security group, and try RDP'ing into it and compare results.
These are quick things I would try and then...
- Look over Windows Event Viewer logs.
