How do you enable remote login on a Hyper-V virtual machine?

I have a Win Svr 2012 virtual machine (Hyper-V).
I switch over to Enhanced mode (which I must) and I can no longer login.
If I flip it back to basic mode, I can log back in no problem.

I receive this error:

To sign in remotely, you need the right to sign in through Remote Desktop Services. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this right. If the group you're in doesn't have this right, or if the right has been removed from the Remote Desktop Users group, you need to be granted this right manually.

I've confirmed that:

  • Both the Remote Desktop Services and the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service are running
  • The account in use is a part of the local Administrators group as well as the Remote Desktop Users group.
  • That the virtual host allows the use of enhanced mode.

Appreciate any insight.

    Might try to add users;

    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow logon locally

    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services
