hi,

thanks posting.

> i cannot add domain/builtin/remote desktop users group local group policy.

remote desktop users group build-in group, available local computer. can’t add domain controller remote desktop users group local computer.

group policy “allow users connect remotely using terminal services”, if enable policy, enabled remote desktop feature on target computer, not grant user permission remote target computer.

so add specified user accounts security group, , manually add group remote desktop users group on target computer. or use group policy preference local users , groups feature add security group target computers.

for more information please refer following ms articles:
