Hi,
I get this error when I try to connect to my PC through Remote Desktop Connection : "unable to log you on due to an account restriction".

I remmember having this issue on my 'rents PC but I can't find the fix. It was a registry fix I think :s

The user you log in as has to be a member of the local administrators group.

Found the problem, thanks for your help.
The last suggestion triggered my memory and I remembered how to do it
