I'm managing a Windows domain environment and need to control access to specific servers for certain users.

That means i want that a server to be accessed only by the user when it is permitted to access it or i can when it has RDP access of that server.

I want to achieve this using Active Directory, not by logging on to the server and managing access of the user from that server.

I have already tried assigning that server to the user log in to option which happens to come when we open Active Directory users and computers and go to the properties of the user. But its not working.

I have also tried using Group Policy but it is also not working. Please tell how can I achieve this.

You can add the user to the Remote Desktop Users group of the server with Group Policy using Restricted Groups or Group Policy Preferences.

I really recommend you have to look at [ask] I don't see here any relevant research nor what you have tried in the question

As with most resources, you create a security group, and add the principals that you want to have access to that group. Then grant that group permission (add that group to the endpoint Remote Desktop Users group), and ensure that no other principals are in that Remote Desktop Users group . Have you done that? You also need more information than "its not working", and avoid co-mingling basic group management with Group Policy until after it is working. Group Policy is for automating the deployment of settings that are working, which you have neglected to do.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
