How to assign the user to "Allow log on through Terminal Services" using local policy (gpedit.msc)

This is helpful in windows 2003 when you try to add a user and
give terminal services right to the user.

By default in Windows 2003 it is only enabled for the Administrator.
All the other user group need to be assigned before it is been used.

1.Type "GPEDIT.msc" in RUN
2.Go to Computer Configurtions
3.Go to Windows Settings
4.Go to Security Settings
5.Go to Local Policies
6.Go to User Rights Assignment
7.Double click Allow Log on through Terminal Services
8.Add the User to the list. You can use the advance button to display all the users and groups and select one.

That it. It let the new user log into the machine through Remote Desktop.
