Having same issue, can connect to Windows 8 Pro box with Windows 7 & windows 2003. I'm running Norton as well so that might be the issue. Strange other computers can connect just not Windows RT.The computer does NOT have Norton on the Windows 8 machine. I can connect with Windows 7 and 2003 RD.

1. I think this could be the workaround for you, found it in Windows 8 IT Pro Forums:
"if you save your connection settings to an .rdp file, then edit it with a text editor and add the line:
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
You can then connect without supplying credentials first."

2.
If I use my Win8 laptop with MS Account, I can connect to: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003/2008/2008 R2, Windows Vista and Windows 7 without any problem with Remote Desktop.
If I use my Win8 laptop with MS Account, I can NOT connect to any Windows 8 computers with LOCAL accounts.
If I use a Win8 computer with LOCAL account, I can connect to all other Windows 8 computers (real or virtual) WITH local accounts.
If I use a Win8 laptop with a Microsoft Account, I can connect to any other Windows 8 computer (real or virtual) that has a Microsoft Account. I just tested using different Microsoft accounts on my laptop and on the computer I try to connect to, and it worked. So if you use a Microsoft account on both sides all is OK.
If you are using Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 2008 R2 there is no problem connecting to a Windows 8 computer with Remote Desktop.
Conclution so far:
So long as I use Microsoft accounts on my laptops, my virtual machines has to use Microsoft account if I want to use Remote Desktop.

Add your Microsoft account to the Windows 2008 machine and login with that instead of a remote desktop or Admin user on that machine. Make sure you add your Microsoft account to the Remote Desktop Users group.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect using RDP from laptop with Windows 8.1 to Server with Windows 8 Pro.
Btw, laptop is using microsoftaccount and Server localaccount.
I set up registry variable fDenyTSConnections to 0 on my laptop. I also tried different combination of username:
1) localaccount\username
2) username
3) workgroupname\username
etc.
And without success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Messageconeyer,
Yes. I already did allow remote connections to the computer (Server host).
I can test it using feature Desktop with Network level authentication.
When I set it to TRUE on server side, connection from laptop fails with network authentication error.
Otherwise, it fails with error wrong username or pasword.
