hello, trying to remote connection to a windows 2003 server but having some issues. Im getting the following message

"To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have these permissions. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that has these permissions, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have these permissons, you must be granted these permissions manually.

It was working last week, come in today and its not. nothing has been changed over the weekend. My user account has administrator privilages and is also in the remote desktop users group. is there anything I could try? Ive already restarted the server and restarted the terminal services service.
 
Are you using SBS? It could be one of those weird licensing issues. Also worth trying to connect as console:

Start > Run > mstsc /console /v:name-of-the-server
