How do I fix a "The requested session access is denied" error for Microsoft Remote Desktop?

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 instance running in VirtualBox. Within this VM I have two users, Admin and vagrant where vagrant is non-administrative.

When interacting into the VM via VirtualBox, I am having no issue connecting into either Administrator or vagrant. But when I use Microsoft Remote Desktop, I can only login to the Administrator. As I attempt to login as vagrant, I keep getting the following

The requested session access is denied

According to this potential solution, I have to "Remove the /admin parameter in the remote desktop connection". I have no clue on how to go about that.

Any feedback on this is much appreciated, Thanks!

  • Try opening the remote desktop application "fresh". Make sure you are not using a saved shortcut to login with the admin account.

  • Make sure vagrant is a member of the windows "remote desktop users" user group. Under user accounts on the target VM.
