Add User to Remote Desktop Group in Azure VM

Question

_{Monday, December 1, 2014 2:49 AM}

I'm Using Windows 8.1 with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 as Dev/Test machine in Azure VM I logged in to The VM Using Remote Desktop Services and Opened Visual Studio and Loaded my Team Projected and Opened Designer View and I got error message saying

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
This app can't be activated by the Built-in Administrator. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80270253)

As I was logged in as Built-in Administrator of the Machine it didn't allow me to run modern apps. I tried creating a new user in VM and Tried Logging in as that user but i again got a message saying

To Sign in remotely, you need the right to sign in through Remote Desktop Services. By Default, member of the Remote Desktop Users group have this right. If the group you're in doesn't have this right, or if the right has been removed from the Remote Desktop Users group, you need to be granted this right manually.

Please Help Solving this Issue.

Hi,

You need to assign Remote Access permission(add it to the remote desktop users group) to that user account so that you can use that user to remote desktop into the VM.You can follow the steps below:

1. RDP into the VM using an administrator account and open Computer Management:

Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Computer Management

2. Click Local Users and Groups, click Groups, then double-click Remote Desktop Users.

3. In Remote Desktop Properties dialog box, click Add… box. In Select Users dialog box, enter the account name and then click OK.
