Finally got it running.

It turned out to be something in the Terminal Services Configuration setup
under Administrative Tools. I had been in there before but didn't see
anything the first time. This time I went to connections and then the
properties of the RDP-tcp connection. I changed the settings for the network
adaptor and I also added the Domain Admin group in the permissions. Not sure
which one fixed the issue but it is working.

Thanks for your input Bob and Bo.

Now to actually do something productive with this thing!
