Unable to reconnect via RDP after adding users

In case anyone might find this tip useful: I a dded a couple of remote users and removed auto-login. 

After doing so, I could not connect via RDP, only through the console.  As the console is considerably slower than RDP, I followed the suggestions from this post and restarted. Still was not able to connect through RDP.

I connected to the console and noticed that remote connection options needed to be corrected. I selected the more secure remote desktop option “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication” in the System Properties > Remote tab. 

Setting it back to “Allow connections fron computers running any version of Remote Desktop” allowed me to log back in via RDP.

Thanks, 

Rod
