I gave users permissions to login to the Server but it still didn’t work. After trying out for a while I found out the solution.

Login to the Server as Admin:
1. gpedit.msc (Local Group Policy)
2.  Computer Configuration/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment
3. Allow log on trough Terminal Serives you need to add your group or users

Warning: This should normally not be done and could be a security risk!

You need to access your computer at home or company. Or do you need to fix you relatives computer but you are to lazy to get up from you chair and visit them. So you need a remote control software. You could use vnc or remote desktop etc. But usually they are behind a firewall and it needs first a lot of configuration. And not everybody knows how to make a ssh tunnel through port 80 to bypass the firewall. Anyway if you looking for a pretty good and fast solution that most of the time works have a look here:

It is by the way free to use, but there are a couple of limitations. One important feature which is missing in the free version is that you can’t share files. Still this service is great and helped me already a couple of times.
