Log In to Windows 8 by RDP with Assigned Access User

I've set up a user account called Kiosk that has Google Chrome as it's assigned app and seems to work fine when I log on locally. However, when trying to connect to the machine by RDP with the Kiosk user it logs in and immediately logs out without showing Google Chrome or the desktop. There are no errors in the Application or Security logs, just the Logon and Log Off events.

How can I set this user to stay connected?

Thanks

Hi Luke,

First, please make sure that this user has been added to the Remote Desktop Users.

Here is the screenshot of my lab:

If it doesn't work, please check the event log to find why the user is rejected. The location of the RDP log is: Application and Services Logs --> Microsoft --> Windows --> TerminalServices

Best Regards.

Don't set your response as the answer without actually making sure you're correct, Steven. As it turns out, Windows simply cannot operate in the way I needed without third-party applications. I ended up building a Linux kiosk instead.

The issue here was that the 'kiosk' is a virtual machine so the thinclient had to RDP to it which is why a none-privileged user was required.
